Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Medellin to Lima. While takeoff favors the right for Medellín's mountain relief, the landing view from the left—the Pacific, Lima's sprawl, and the Andes' dramatic western face—is more visually distinctive and memorable. The landing experience outweighs the takeoff advantage.

During takeoff from Olaya Herrera (EOH), sit on the Right side for the best views. Olaya Herrera typically departs to the west or northwest. Right-side seats face the Aburrá Valley's western ridge and the Cordillera Occidental as you climb, providing immediate mountain relief. Left seats see the city sprawl and eastern mountains receding. Notable sights include: Cordillera Occidental (western range of Colombian Andes), Aburrá Valley urban grid, Río Medellín winding through the valley floor, Cerro de las Tres Cruces ridge to the southwest.

When landing at Jorge Chavez International (LIM), sit on the Left side for the best views. Jorge Chavez typically lands from the south or southeast (Runway 15). Left-side seats descend over the Pacific coastal plain and see Lima's sprawl, the Andes' western escarpment, and the ocean approach. Right seats face inland desert and lose the dramatic coastal geography. Notable sights include: Pacific Ocean shoreline and Callao port, Lima's urban expanse (especially the Rímac district and central grid), Cordillera Occidental's western face rising inland, Cerro San Cristóbal and surrounding coastal hills.

The flight from Olaya Herrera (EOH) to Jorge Chavez International (LIM) takes Approximately 2 hours 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses the Cordillera Central and Cordillera Occidental in southern Colombia, then descends over the Ecuadorian-Peruvian border region. The Marañón River valley becomes visible in southern Peru. The western escarpment of the Andes dominates the final 30 minutes as you approach the coastal plain. No major lakes or distinctive landmarks are visible at cruise altitude along this route; the terrain is primarily high-altitude Andean ridges and deep river valleys.
