Which side of the plane to sit from Teniente Av. Jorge Henrich Arauz Airport (Trinidad) to El Trompillo Airport (Santa Cruz)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers the most dynamic views, featuring the dramatic meanders of the Mamoré River and a stunning approach into Santa Cruz with views of the Andean foothills and the city's skyline.
Search flights from TDD to SRZ
Rio Mamoré
Watch the intricate oxbow lakes and sediment-rich curves of one of Bolivia's most important river systems.
Amboró National Park
Distant but sharp views of the jagged Andean foothills forming a dark green wall to the west.
Santa Cruz Skyline
As the plane enters the SRZ pattern, this side typically looks directly over the high-rise buildings and circular rings of the city center.
Lomas de Arena
During the final descent, you may spot the unique white sand dunes located just south of the city limits.
This is the 'urban' side. For the best photography, choose a mid-afternoon flight when the sun is behind the plane, illuminating the city and the mountains clearly. During the dry season (August-September), be aware that smoke from local clearing can sometimes reduce visibility.

Llanos de Moxos
Immense stretches of Beni's tropical savannas, showcasing the scale of Bolivia's lowlands.
Remote Lagoons
Glistening freshwater bodies like Laguna San Luis dotting the green landscape.
Industrial Santa Cruz
The rapid expansion of the city's northern industrial corridor and massive soy plantations.
Sit on this side for morning flights to see the sunrise reflecting off the flooded savannas during the wet season (December to March). It provides a more tranquil, natural view before the urban approach.
