Our Recommendation
8.4

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the Mamoré River, which serves as a massive, winding artery through the jungle and eventually marks the international border with Brazil.

Right Side Highlights
8.4
🐍

Mamoré River

The dominant geographic feature of the region, showcasing massive, snake-like meanders across the landscape.

🌀

Oxbow Lakes

Dozens of crescent-shaped lagoons formed by the river's historical shifts, visible as bright blue or green spots in the forest.

🇧🇷

Brazilian Border

As you approach Guayaramerín, the right side provides a glimpse across the river into the Brazilian state of Rondônia.

🏘️

Guajará-Mirim

The Brazilian sister city of Guayaramerín, visible just across the Mamoré River during the final descent.

This is the premier side for photography. Morning flights are ideal to have the sun behind you while photographing the river. Keep an eye out for 'Lomas'—ancient man-made earthworks visible as slight elevations in the otherwise flat savanna. Since these flights are often in smaller aircraft at lower altitudes, the detail of the riverbank is exceptionally clear.

Left Side Highlights

🌾

Llanos de Moxos

Expansive tropical savannas known for their unique ecological diversity and seasonal flooding patterns.

💧

Yacuma River Tributaries

Intricate networks of smaller streams and wetlands that branch out across the Beni Department.

🌳

Pristine Rainforest

Dense patches of tropical forest that become more frequent as the flight heads further north toward the Amazon.

Sit on this side if you prefer seeing the vastness of the Bolivian wilderness away from the main river. Afternoon flights may offer better lighting for the western horizon, but be prepared for potential cloud build-up during the rainy season (December to March).
