Lake Titicaca
The deep blue waters of the world's highest navigable lake, split between Bolivia and Peru.
Cordillera Real
Spectacular views of 6,000m+ glaciated peaks, including the iconic Illimani.
La Paz Basin
A glimpse of the world's highest administrative capital nestled in a deep mountain bowl.
Ica Desert
The stark transition from high mountains to the massive sand dunes of the Peruvian coast.
Lima Cityscape
A sprawling view of the Lima metropolitan area during the final approach into Jorge Chávez.
Request a window seat away from the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of Lake Titicaca, which usually appears roughly 45-60 minutes after takeoff. Morning flights are highly recommended to avoid the convective cloud cover that frequently obscures the peaks by mid-afternoon.
