Which side of the plane to sit from Rurenabaque Airport (Rerrenabaque) to Teniente Av. Jorge Henrich Arauz Airport (Trinidad)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most dramatic views of the Rio Beni's complex meanders and the dense Amazonian canopy as you head east-southeast towards the heart of the Beni department.
Rio Beni Meanders
Spectacular views of the river twisting in tight loops through the jungle immediately after takeoff.
Pristine Rainforest
An endless green carpet of the Amazon basin stretching toward the northern horizon.
Oxbow Lakes
Numerous crescent-shaped lagoons that were once part of the river's main channel.
Madidi Buffer Zone
Aerial perspective of one of the world's most biodiverse regions near the start of the flight.
Sit on the left side during morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun. This side provides the best angle to see the deep 'U' bends of the Beni River. Use a polarizing filter if taking photos to cut through the tropical haze often present over the jungle.
Andean Foothills
The last remnants of the Cordillera Oriental mountains visible to the west shortly after departure.
Llanos de Moxos
The transition from dense forest to the vast tropical savannas and wetlands of central Bolivia.
Estancia Clearings
Remote cattle ranches and small airstrips that serve as the only lifelines in this roadless region.
Rio Mamoré System
Views of the massive Mamoré river basin as the flight descends toward Trinidad.
On clear days, look back toward the southwest during the first 10 minutes to see the distant peaks of the Andes. This side is better for afternoon flights if you want to see the sun setting over the pampas, though heat haze can be significant during the dry season (August-September).
