What the aircraft actually flies over
From Lima the path crosses 2,136 km of open water, then Chile.
The furthest the great circle gets from the equator is 33.4°S, 100% of the way along.
Holding a single compass bearing the whole way would cover almost exactly the same ground, so on this route the flat map and the globe agree.
The heading barely moves: south out of Lima, south into Santiago. Over this distance the curve has too little room to bend the compass.
