Which side of the plane to sit from El Alto International Airport (La Paz) to El Dorado International Airport (Bogota)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a front-row seat to the staggering 6,000-meter peaks of the Cordillera Real immediately upon departure, followed by the dramatic transition where the Andes meet the Amazon basin.

Mt. Illimani
The iconic triple-peaked guardian of La Paz, offering an incredible close-up view during the climb out of LPB.
Amazon Transition
Spectacular views of the 'Yungas' cloud forests where the mountains drop sharply into the green Amazon basin.
Nevado del Huila
Colombia's highest volcano, often visible as a massive white-capped cone above the clouds.
Sabana de Bogotá
The high fertile plateau and the sprawling urban landscape of Bogota during the final approach.
The right side is essential for the departure from El Alto; the view of the Cordillera Real is one of the most scenic takeoffs in the world. Afternoon flights are ideal for this side, as the setting sun illuminates the Colombian peaks and the Bogota savanna with warm, golden light.

Lake Titicaca
Massive blue expanse of the world's highest navigable lake, visible shortly after departing the Altiplano.
Peruvian Cordillera
Distant, jagged snow-capped peaks of the western Andean range along the border.
Magdalena River
The winding silver thread of Colombia's most important river as it cuts through deep mountain valleys.
Central Cordillera
Aerial views of the rugged, steep terrain of the Colombian coffee region during the descent.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh sun glare over the Altiplano. This side provides the best view of Lake Titicaca's shoreline and the vastness of the high-altitude plateau. Watch for the dramatic change in terrain as you cross into Colombian airspace.
