Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The Left Side is preferred for its immediate urban panorama of Santa Cruz de la Sierra and the distant, dramatic profile of the Andes foothills and Amboró National Park.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🌆

Santa Cruz Cityscape

Unmatched views of the central historic district and the 'rings' urban layout immediately after takeoff from the centrally located El Trompillo.

⛰️

Amboró National Park

On clear days, the jagged green ridges of the 'El Codo de los Andes' are visible to the west, marking the edge of the Amazon basin.

💧

Laguna Suárez

A large, scenic recreational lake located just a few kilometers south of Trinidad, visible during the final descent.

🗺️

Llanos de Moxos

Ancient pre-Columbian earthworks and mounds are occasionally visible across these vast, seasonally flooded tropical savannas.

Book an early morning flight to catch the soft light hitting the Andes foothills to the west. This side is particularly spectacular during the descent into TDD, as you pass directly over the large water bodies surrounding Trinidad. Ensure your window is clean, as the low altitude of this flight offers great detail of the tropical landscape.

Right Side Highlights
7.9
🐍

Río Grande Meanders

Incredible views of the massive Río Grande (Guapay) snaking through the lowlands with dramatic silver oxbow lakes.

🚜

Agricultural Heartland

The transition from the industrial soy and sugar cane fields of northern Santa Cruz to the wilder Beni savannas.

🌳

Forest Islands

Distinctive 'islas de monte' or circular patches of dense jungle that dot the open pampas of the Beni region.

🏙️

Trinidad Approach

A wide view of the city of Trinidad, showing the grid-like streets and red-tiled roofs typical of colonial Amazonian towns.

The right side is excellent for river photography; the Río Grande provides stunning geometric patterns. During the rainy season (December to March), this side offers the best views of the vast 'mirror effect' across the flooded plains. Avoid late afternoon flights on this side if you want to prevent direct sun glare.
