Which side of the plane to sit from Teniente Av. Jorge Henrich Arauz Airport (Trinidad) to El Alto International Airport (La Paz)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a front-row seat to the dramatic rise of the Andes, culminating in a spectacular view of Mount Illimani, the iconic triple-peaked guardian of La Paz.
Beni Wetlands
Vast, shimmering tropical savannas and wetlands surrounding Trinidad, often dotted with cattle and wildlife.
Mamoré River Meanders
Spectacular oxbow lakes and winding brown river loops snaking through the Amazonian basin.
Mount Illimani
The majestic 6,438m snow-capped peak that dominates the southern skyline as you approach the Altiplano.
El Alto Sprawl
A unique aerial perspective of the dense, red-brick urban expansion on the high-altitude plateau before touchdown.
Book a morning flight (before 10:00 AM) to ensure the sun illuminates the eastern face of the Cordillera Real. The transition from the flat jungle to the vertical walls of the Andes happens quickly; keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing.
Huayna Potosí
The perfectly shaped pyramid peak, one of Bolivia's most famous mountains, visible during the final descent.
Lake Titicaca
On clear days, the shimmering blue horizon of the world's highest navigable lake is visible to the northwest.
Cordillera Real
A continuous chain of jagged, glaciated peaks stretching north toward the Apolobamba range.
The Yungas Transition
Watch the dramatic 'sea of clouds' where the moist Amazon air hits the steep Andean slopes.
The right side is excellent for spotting Lake Titicaca in the distance on the horizon. During the dry season (May-September), the air is exceptionally clear, providing sharp views of the northern glaciated peaks like Illampu and Ancohuma.
