AQP

When landing at Rodriguez Ballon (AQP), sit on the Left side for the best views. Landing on runway 10 means you're flying roughly east-southeast into Arequipa, and the northern side of the aircraft faces the volcanic backdrop that makes this approach famous. Chachani and El Misti volcanoes rise dramatically to the north of the flight path, giving left-side passengers a much better view than the flatter terrain to the south. Notable sights include: El Misti volcano, Chachani volcano, the Andean foothills and Arequipa's outskirts below.
