TJA → BYC
Which side of the plane to sit from Capitan Oriel Lea Plaza Airport (Tarija) to Yacuiba Airport (Yacuiba)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for viewing the rugged Serranía de Aguaragüe and the dramatic transition from the Andean foothills into the flat expanse of the Gran Chaco, including views of the Argentine border.
Aguaragüe Ridgelines
Direct views of the final mountainous folds of the Andes before the terrain flattens out completely.
Argentine Borderline
Aerial view of the international boundary with the Salta province of Argentina running parallel to the flight path.
Gran Chaco Transition
The striking visual contrast where the mountains abruptly meet the vast, flat scrubland of the Chaco.
Yacuiba Cityscape
A clear view of the urban layout and the international bridge connecting to Salvador Mazza during the descent.
The right side is ideal for capturing the 'edge of the world' feeling where the mountains end. Aim for an afternoon flight to see the sunset colors reflecting off the Chaco plains. Keep a camera ready during the final 10 minutes of the flight for the best urban and border views.
Serranía de Aguaragüe North
Observation of the northern stretches of the steep, parallel mountain ridges that define this region.
Pilcomayo Tributaries
Small rivers and seasonal streams cutting through deep, narrow valleys toward the north.
Sub-Andean Cloud Forest
Dense, verdant vegetation of the Yungas transition zone clinging to the sharp mountain slopes.
Sit on the left during morning flights to avoid direct sun glare. Look for the geological 'V' shapes in the terrain where water has eroded the young mountain folds.
