Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side is superior for this southward journey as it provides a front-row seat to the sunrise over the Caribbean, the vibrant skylines of Panama City, and the majestic, snow-capped peaks of the Andes Mountains as you descend toward Peru.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🌊

Niagara Falls

Visible shortly after takeoff from Toronto if the departure path heads south over Lake Erie.

🏖️

Caribbean Shallows

Stunning gradients of turquoise and deep blue while passing over the Bahamas and eastern Cuba.

🏙️

Panama City Skyline

A dense cluster of skyscrapers at the edge of the Pacific Ocean as you cross the isthmus.

🏔️

Colombian Andes

Dramatic high-altitude terrain and deep green valleys of the Cordillera Central.

❄️

Ecuadorian Volcanoes

Views of iconic snow-capped peaks like Cayambe and Antisana located east of the flight path.

Book an overnight or early morning flight to catch the sunrise over the Atlantic. As you enter South American airspace, keep your window shade up for the Andes; the mountain views are most vibrant in the morning light before afternoon clouds gather.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🚢

Panama Canal

View the engineering marvel of the Gatun Lake and the locks connecting the two oceans.

🏝️

Pearl Islands

An archipelago of volcanic islands scattered in the Gulf of Panama.

🌊

Pacific Coastline

The rugged meeting point of the Chocó rainforest and the Pacific Ocean in Colombia.

🌋

Chimborazo

The furthest point from the Earth's center, often visible poking through the clouds in Ecuador.

🏜️

Peruvian Coastal Desert

The stark transition into the Sechura Desert where massive sand dunes meet the ocean.

The right side is ideal for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Pacific Ocean. It also offers the best angle for viewing the Panama Canal transit. Be aware that coastal fog (Garúa) is common near Lima, which may obscure the ground during the final approach.
