Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Rio Negro to Lima. Right-side seats capture the most dramatic geography: the Aburrá Valley and Cordillera Central on departure, then the Cauca Valley and Western Cordillera during cruise, and finally the Andes escarpment on approach to Lima. Left side offers ocean views near Lima but misses the interior highlands.

During takeoff from Jose Maria Cordova (MDE), sit on the Right side for the best views. MDE typically departs runway 01 (northbound) or 19 (southbound). Right-side seats offer views of the Aburrá Valley's urban sprawl and the Cordillera Central rising to the east. The western slopes visible from the right provide better definition of Medellín's geography as you climb northwest toward the Caribbean. Notable sights include: Aburrá Valley urban grid, Cordillera Central (eastern ridge), Rio Medellín valley floor, surrounding green hills to the west.

When landing at Jorge Chavez International (LIM), sit on the Left side for the best views. Approaching LIM typically uses runway 01 (northbound) or 15 (southbound). Left-side seats during descent offer views of the Andes' western escarpment and the Lima coastal plain. You'll see the dramatic elevation drop from the high plateau toward the Pacific, plus the city's sprawl against the ocean. Notable sights include: Western Andes escarpment, Lima coastal plain and urban sprawl, Pacific Ocean, Callao port area.
