Amboró National Park
Glimpses of the deep green cloud forests and iconic red sandstone formations on the park's southern edge.
Cordillera Oriental
Distant views of the higher, snow-dusted peaks of the Eastern Andean range as you gain altitude.
Geological Folds
Remarkable exposed rock layers and twisted strata that showcase the immense tectonic forces that shaped the Andes.
Dry Valleys
The landscape transforms from lush green to the beautiful, arid earth tones of the high-altitude Sucre basin.
The White City
On final approach, catch sight of Sucre's iconic colonial white-washed buildings nestled in the valley.
The right side is the 'mountain side' for this short hop. It offers the most dramatic views of the 'El Codo de los Andes' (the elbow of the Andes). Try to book a morning flight to avoid the frequent afternoon clouds that can obscure the mountain valleys, and keep your camera ready for the sudden change in terrain.

Santa Cruz Departure
Aerial view of the sprawling 'City of Rings' and the lush tropical landscape surrounding VVI airport.
Rio Grande Meanders
Watch the massive Rio Grande snake through the lowlands before it enters the deep mountain canyons.
Parallel Serranías
Stunning views of the long, north-south oriented ridges that mark the first 'steps' of the Andes Mountains.
Remote Andean Hamlets
Small, isolated farming communities tucked into the steep, green valleys of the Chuquisaca department.
Sit on the left if you want to see the expansive plains stretching toward the Chaco region during the first half of the flight. Morning flights are ideal as the rising sun illuminates the eastern slopes of the mountains, though it can create glare directly into your window.
