Pico de Orizaba
Visible shortly after takeoff from Veracruz, the snow-capped peak of Mexico's highest mountain dominates the western horizon.
Sierra de los Tuxtlas
Close-up views of the isolated volcanic mountain range, including the San Martin Tuxtla volcano and lush jungle slopes.
Papaloapan River Meanders
Stunning views of the 'Butterfly River' as it snakes through the lowlands in tight, silvery loops.
Minatitlán Refineries
The massive industrial complex of the Lázaro Cárdenas refinery provides a sharp contrast to the surrounding nature.
Pantanos de Centla
The approach into Villahermosa showcases the vast, vibrant green wetlands and swampy ecosystems of the biosphere reserve.
This is the best side for photography of the volcanic interior. Choose a window seat behind the wing to capture the scale of the Sierra de los Tuxtlas. Late afternoon flights offer incredible golden-hour lighting over the winding rivers and the distant Sierra Madre mountains.

Gulf of Mexico Coastline
Continuous views of the emerald waters and sandy beaches stretching along the Veracruz coast.
Laguna de Alvarado
A massive coastal lagoon system where the Papaloapan River meets the sea, dotted with small fishing boats.
Port of Coatzacoalcos
An aerial perspective of the busy shipping lanes and the breakwaters where the river enters the Gulf.
Tabasco Mangroves
Lush coastal vegetation and dense mangrove forests as the flight enters the state of Tabasco.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun glare. This side is ideal for spotting large container ships waiting to enter the industrial ports. During the rainy season, the sediment plumes from the rivers create striking patterns in the Gulf water.
