Which side of the plane to sit from Teniente Av. Jorge Henrich Arauz Airport (Trinidad) to Capitán Av. Selin Zeitun Lopez Airport (Riberalta)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior vantage point of the massive Mamoré River and the intricate network of oxbow lakes and flooded savannas that characterize the Beni region.
Mamoré River System
The right side offers prolonged views of one of Bolivia's most vital and massive river arteries.
Oxbow Lakes
Numerous 'Crescent' lakes formed by old river paths, reflecting the sky like blue mirrors against the green forest.
Llanos de Moxos
The unique transition zone between tropical savannas and the dense Amazonian basin.
Riberalta Confluence
Stunning views of the city of Riberalta and the meeting of the Beni and Madre de Dios rivers upon arrival.
The right side is best for photography shortly after takeoff from Trinidad to capture the wetland systems. During the dry season (June to September), keep an eye out for small plumes of smoke from traditional farming clearings. The descent into Riberalta from this side provides the best view of the urban layout and the bustling river port.
Amazonian Canopy
Witness an endless expanse of deep green tropical rainforest stretching toward the horizon.
Beni River Meanders
Spectacular aerial views of the brown, silty Beni River winding in tight loops through the jungle.
Remote Settlements
Occasional sightings of isolated indigenous communities and jungle clearings only accessible by boat.
Biodiversity Hotspots
Vibrant green patches of primary forest that are home to thousands of Amazonian species.
Choose the left side for better lighting during morning flights to avoid the direct eastern sun. As you approach Riberalta, watch for the Beni River closing in on the flight path. Polarized lenses are recommended to cut through the haze of the humid jungle air.
