Mount Illimani
The majestic 6,438m guardian of La Paz, featuring massive glaciers and jagged white ridges.
Tunari National Park
Aerial views of the high peaks surrounding Cochabamba immediately following takeoff.
Cordillera Real
A continuous chain of snow-capped 6,000-meter peaks stretching toward the northern horizon.
Huayna Potosí
The famous pyramid-shaped peak that dominates the skyline north of El Alto airport.
Lake Titicaca
Glimpses of the deep blue waters of the world's highest navigable lake in the distance during descent.
Book an early morning flight (before 09:00 AM) for the clearest views of the glaciers, as clouds often form around the peaks by midday. Sit toward the back of the aircraft to ensure the wing doesn't obstruct your view of Mount Illimani during the final approach into El Alto.

Altiplano Plateaus
Vast stretches of the high-altitude Andean plateau with unique geological formations.
Sajama Volcano
On exceptionally clear days, Bolivia's highest peak is visible as a solitary cone on the far western horizon.
El Alto Urban Sprawl
A bird's-eye view of the dense, brick-colored cityscape that characterizes the world's highest major city.
Eroded Valleys
Deeply carved red-earth canyons visible shortly after departing the Cochabamba valley.
Choose this side if you are flying during the late afternoon to witness a dramatic sunset over the western horizon. While less mountainous, it provides a better perspective of the sheer scale of the Altiplano's flat terrain contrasted against the sudden drop into the La Paz basin.
