Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

While both sides offer stunning views of the Amazonian lowlands, the left side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic emergence of the Andean foothills from the flat savannah as you approach Rurrenabaque.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🌾

Llanos de Moxos

Vast, seasonally flooded tropical savannas with a patchwork of forest islands and ancient agricultural earthworks.

πŸ’§

Oxbow Lakes

Countless horseshoe-shaped lagoons formed by the shifting paths of ancient rivers, appearing like mirrors on the forest floor.

⛰️

Andean Foothills

The sudden and spectacular rise of the first lush, green ridges of the Cordillera Real against the horizon.

🐊

Yacuma River Marshes

The complex wetland ecosystems where the pampa meets the jungle, often visible as winding silver threads.

Book an early morning flight (07:00-09:00) to avoid the haze and convective clouds that build up by mid-day. The left side allows you to see the sunrise lighting up the mountains ahead. Look closely for the 'Islas de Bosque' (forest islands) which were historically used by indigenous cultures for habitation above flood levels.

Right Side Highlights
8.4
🐍

MamorΓ© River Meanders

Incredible views of one of Bolivia's largest rivers twisting in massive, serpentine loops across the landscape.

🌳

Amazonian Canopy

Dense, unbroken stretches of primary rainforest that look like a thick broccoli carpet from above.

🚀

Beni River Confluence

As you descend, watch for the powerful Beni River carving through the landscape toward the gateway of the Madidi.

🏑

Rurrenabaque Outskirts

Aerial view of the charming jungle town nestled between the riverbank and the towering rainforest walls.

The right side is ideal for spotting the white sandbars of the Beni River. During the dry season (May to October), these sandbars are very prominent and offer a stark contrast to the deep green jungle. Keep your camera ready during the final 10 minutes of the flight for the best river photography.
