Which side of the plane to sit from Jorge Wilsterman International Airport (Cochabamba) to Capitan Oriel Lea Plaza Airport (Tarija)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the high Andean peaks and the dramatic transition between the high Altiplano and the rugged central valleys, including distant glimpses of the Potosí region.
Cordillera de Tunari
Immediate views of the high peaks surrounding Cochabamba, often dusted with snow during winter months.
Potosí Highlands
Rugged, high-altitude terrain and distant views of the mineral-rich mountains near the historic city of Potosí.
Altiplano Fringe
The dramatic edge where the high-altitude plateau drops off into the deep, eroded valleys of the south.
Sucre Vicinity
Views of the mountainous landscape surrounding the constitutional capital, characterized by red earth and white cliffs.
The right side is ideal for capturing the scale of the Andes. Morning flights are best to avoid the convective clouds that often build up over the mountains in the afternoon. During descent into Tarija, watch for the striking red rock formations and vineyards that characterize the Central Valley of Tarija.
Valle Alto
Lush agricultural landscapes and small colonial towns nestled in the valleys southeast of Cochabamba.
Rio Pilcomayo
The winding course of one of South America's major rivers as it carves through deep mountain canyons.
Serranía del Aguaragüe
The long, north-south oriented ridges that mark the start of the sub-Andean mountain range.
Choose this side for views of the sunrise if flying early in the morning. It offers a great perspective on the lush green valleys and the complex river systems that feed into the Amazon and Plata basins. Look for the distinct change in vegetation as you move south.
