Search flights from LPB to SRE
Nevado Illimani
The triple-peaked giant that dominates the La Paz skyline, visible in stunning detail shortly after takeoff.
Cordillera Real
A continuous chain of snow-capped Andean peaks stretching along the horizon as you fly south-east.
Yungas Transitions
The dramatic point where the high peaks drop off into the deep, lush green valleys of the humid cloud forest.
Rio Caine Canyon
Deeply eroded river canyons with colorful rock formations visible during the descent into the Sucre region.
Sit on the left for the most dramatic views of Illimani. Morning flights are highly recommended to avoid the afternoon cloud buildup that often obscures the mountain peaks and to catch the best lighting for photography.

Lake Poopó Area
In the distance, you may see the reflective remnants or the salt-crusted basin of this high-altitude saline lake.
Potosí Highlands
