Sit on the Left side of the plane for the best views on flights from Sao Paulo to La Paz. While takeoff offers good São Paulo views on the right, the landing approach to El Alto provides more dramatic and geographically distinctive scenery. The Cordillera Real mountains and high-altitude Altiplano landscape on the left side during descent are visually striking and represent the flight's most memorable geography.

During takeoff from Guarulhos (GRU), sit on the Right side for the best views. GRU typically departs runway 09L/27R or 09R/27L depending on wind. Westbound departures use runway 27, climbing northwest. Right-side seats offer views of the Serra da Cantareira mountains and the sprawling São Paulo metropolitan area receding eastward, with the Tietê River visible in the urban grid. Notable sights include: Serra da Cantareira (northern mountain range), Tietê River (winding through São Paulo), Greater São Paulo urban sprawl, Atlantic Plateau escarpment to the east.

When landing at El Alto International (LPB), sit on the Left side for the best views. Approaching El Alto from the east (typical approach), aircraft descend over the Altiplano plateau. Left-side seats face north and northwest toward the Cordillera Real mountains and Lake Titicaca region. The dramatic Andean peaks and the high-altitude plateau terrain dominate the approach, with the snow-capped peaks of the Cordillera Real visible on the left side of the descent corridor. Notable sights include: Cordillera Real (major Andean range with snow-capped peaks), Altiplano plateau (high-altitude grassland), Lake Titicaca (visible on clear days to the northwest), La Paz city basin (nestled below El Alto).

The flight from Guarulhos (GRU) to El Alto International (LPB) takes Approximately 3 hours 45 minutes to 4 hours 15 minutes.

The flight path crosses the Brazilian interior plateau (Planalto Brasileiro) with scattered cloud cover, then transitions into the Bolivian highlands. The Paraná River basin is visible in the first hour. As the aircraft climbs toward the Andes, the terrain becomes progressively higher and more mountainous. The Bolivian pre-Andean foothills appear roughly 90 minutes into the flight, with the Cordillera Oriental visible before the final approach to the Altiplano. Lake Titicaca may be visible to the left (north) during the descent phase if weather permits.
