Which side of the plane to sit from El Alto International Airport (La Paz) to Capitán Aníbal Arab Airport (Cobija)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides an extraordinary aerial perspective of the Cordillera Real's snow-capped peaks immediately after takeoff, followed by a dramatic descent over the Yungas into the Amazon basin.
Cordillera Real Giants
Up-close views of massive glaciated peaks including Illimani, Huayna Potosi, and Illampu.
The Yungas Valleys
Watch the dramatic vertical drop-off where the Andes mountains meet the tropical cloud forests.
Beni River Meanders
Spectacular sightings of winding brown rivers and crescent-shaped oxbow lakes in the lowlands.
Madidi Biodiversity
Aerial views of the lush, dense forests surrounding one of the world's most biodiverse national parks.
Sit on the right side for the most dramatic mountain photography. Secure a seat ahead of the wing to capture the 6,000-meter peaks right after departure from El Alto. The transition from ice to jungle happens rapidly, so keep your camera ready from the moment of liftoff.
The High Altiplano
Expansive views of the high-altitude volcanic plateau stretching toward the horizon.
Lake Titicaca Glimpses
Distant views of the deep blue waters of the world's highest navigable lake to the northwest.
Amazonian Canopy
A seamless transition from the brown highland terrain to the endless green carpet of the rainforest.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. It offers a broader perspective of the vastness of the Amazon basin as you approach Cobija near the Brazilian border.
