Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Lima to Anta. While takeoff favors left seats for coastal views, the landing approach to Anta's high-altitude runway in the Andes provides more dramatic and distinctive scenery from the right side, with close views of the Sacred Valley terrain and mountain ridges that define the approach.

During takeoff from Jorge Chavez International (LIM), sit on the Left side for the best views. LIM typically departs runway 03 (northbound) or 15 (southbound). Left seats offer views of the Andes foothills rising inland and the Pacific coastline receding westward. Right seats face the flat coastal plain and urban sprawl with less dramatic terrain. Notable sights include: Pacific Ocean to the west, Andes eastern foothills, Lima urban grid, Callao port district.

When landing at Commandante Fap German Arias Grazziani (ATA), sit on the Right side for the best views. ATA (Anta) sits in the Cusco region at 10,000 feet elevation in the Andes. Approach typically comes from the northwest or southeast depending on runway orientation. Right seats provide views of the Sacred Valley terrain, high-altitude plateaus, and the dramatic Andean ridgelines that frame the approach corridor. Notable sights include: Andes mountain ridges, Sacred Valley agricultural terraces, high-altitude plateau (altiplano), Cusco region river valleys.

The flight from Jorge Chavez International (LIM) to Commandante Fap German Arias Grazziani (ATA) takes Approximately 1 hour 15 minutes.

The flight climbs northeast from Lima across the coastal plain, then enters the Andes foothills around 30 minutes out. The route crosses progressively higher terrain: the western cordillera ridges (around 12,000-14,000 feet), then descends slightly into the inter-Andean valley system. The Urubamba River valley and its tributaries become visible around 45 minutes into the flight. The landscape transitions from sparse coastal vegetation to high-altitude grassland (puna) with scattered agricultural settlements. No major lakes or snow-capped peaks are typically visible on this specific route at this latitude, though the terrain is continuously mountainous and visually dramatic after the first 20 minutes of flight.
