Which side of the plane to sit from Capitán Av. Selin Zeitun Lopez Airport (Riberalta) to Teniente Av. Jorge Henrich Arauz Airport (Trinidad)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the Mamoré River's complex meandering patterns and the dense Amazonian rainforest canopy transitioning into the wetlands of the Llanos de Moxos.
Mamoré River Meanders
Stunning views of the massive, winding loops of the Mamoré River as it snakes southward.
Amazonian Canopy
Deep green, untouched rainforest stretching to the horizon immediately after leaving Riberalta.
Oxbow Lakes
Crescent-shaped lagoons formed by abandoned river channels, creating a mosaic of blue and green.
Remote Settlements
Small riverfront communities and outposts visible along the banks of the Mamoré.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh western sun glare. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff to capture the convergence of smaller tributaries into the Mamoré. During the rainy season (December-March), the floodplains are particularly dramatic with massive reflections.
Beni River Basin
Initial views of the Beni River's confluence area shortly after departure from Riberalta.
Llanos de Moxos
The expansive tropical savannas of the Beni region, showcasing a different ecological landscape.
Beni Cattle Ranches
Large 'estancias' or cattle ranches visible as geometric clearings within the pampas.
Laguna Rogaguado (Distance)
On clear days, the massive lagoons of the western plains may be visible on the far horizon.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the vast tropical savannas. Look for the transition from thick forest to open grasslands, which indicates you are nearing the center of the Beni department. Use a polarized filter for photos to cut through the tropical haze.
