Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Lima to Santa Cruz. Right side offers the most dramatic geography: the Andes climb-out from Lima is visually superior to the flat approach into Santa Cruz. The eastern Cordillera and high plateau features visible during the cruise phase are best seen from the right.

During takeoff from Jorge Chavez International (LIM), sit on the Right side for the best views. Right side captures the Pacific coastline and the Andes foothills as you climb out eastbound. Lima's urban sprawl and the coastal cliffs near Callao are visible initially, then the western slopes of the Andes dominate the view during climb. Notable sights include: Pacific Ocean and Callao port (west), Andes western escarpment (east), Lima metropolitan area (south), coastal desert plain.

When landing at Viru Viru International (VVI), sit on the Left side for the best views. Left side provides views of Santa Cruz's urban approach and the surrounding lowland terrain. As you descend westbound into Viru Viru, the left side shows the city's grid layout and the flat Chiquitano forest landscape that characterizes the region. Notable sights include: Santa Cruz city center (urban grid), Chiquitano forest canopy (green expanse), Rio Grande (visible as a linear feature), flat lowland terrain.

The flight from Jorge Chavez International (LIM) to Viru Viru International (VVI) takes Approximately 2 hours 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses the Andes at roughly 13,500 feet elevation, passing over the high plateau (altiplano) region. The Cochabamba valley and surrounding mountain ranges are visible during cruise. The terrain transitions from coastal desert (west) through high mountains to lowland tropical forest (east). The Rio Beni and its tributaries become visible as you descend into the Santa Cruz basin.
