Our Recommendation
9.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a front-row seat to the dramatic transition from the high-altitude Altiplano to the Amazon basin, featuring the iconic glaciers of Huayna Potosí and the shimmering distant horizon of Lake Titicaca.

Left Side Highlights
9.5
🏔️

Huayna Potosí

Visible almost immediately after takeoff, this 6,088m peak is one of the most recognizable in the Cordillera Real.

💧

Lake Titicaca

On clear days, the world's highest navigable lake is visible on the distant northwestern horizon.

🧗

Condoriri Massif

A group of jagged peaks resembling a condor with its wings spread, providing a rugged alpine landscape.

🌿

Yungas Descent

Watch the terrain drop thousands of meters into deep green valleys where the cloud forest begins.

🐍

Beni River Curves

As you approach Rurrenabaque, the river becomes a winding brown snake cutting through dense jungle.

Book an early morning flight for the clearest visibility and the best light on the glaciers. Sit forward of the wing for an unobstructed view of the sharp drop-off when leaving the Altiplano. During the dry season (May-September), the air is clearest, though some agricultural smoke may occur in October.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏙️

La Paz Cityscape

A stunning aerial view of the red-brick sprawl of El Alto and the deep canyon where La Paz city sits.

🏔️

Mount Illimani

The guardian of La Paz is visible in the distance, showcasing its three iconic peaks.

⚡

Zongo Valley

Deep, narrow canyons that drop from the glaciers down toward the jungle floor.

🌳

Madidi Fringe

Aerial views of the outskirts of the Madidi National Park, one of the most biodiverse places on Earth.

☁️

Cloud Carpets

Often, the valleys are filled with white clouds, looking like a white sea between mountain ridges.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun is positioned to the north/west, illuminating the mountains to your south. It offers the best perspective of the urban density of El Alto. Keep an eye out for the rapid change from grey rock to vibrant tropical green during the 40-minute flight.
