Le Paz
I had been hoping for a landing in a westerly direction, up onto the plateau that La Paz sits on, but unfortunately not. For once the weather was perfect. . . for an easterly landing.

El Alto International Airport (Spanish: Aeropuerto Internacional El Alto) is an international airport located in the city of El Alto, Bolivia, 8 mi (13 km) south-west of La Paz. At an altitude of 4,061.5 m (13,325 ft), it is the highest international airport and the fifth highest commercial airport in the world.
The airport has served since the first half of the 20th century, but was modernized in the late 1960s, when its runway was lengthened and a new passenger terminal with modern facilities was built. The new airport was inaugurated in 1965.[6] El Alto airport was a primary hub for the former Lloyd Aéreo Boliviano, Bolivia's flag carrier which ceased operations in 2007 and is a hub for Transporte Aéreo Militar and Línea Aérea Amaszonas.[7] It serves also as a focus city for Boliviana de Aviación which is a state owned airline

Routing |
A fairly interest routing out of Santiago on 17R using the ESLAR departure for TABON 1A. Needing as much height before crossing back over the Andes Mountains ( these are some seriously tall mountains)

Weather & Scenary: | Seat belt sign on for the descent into Asuncion. Isolated thunder clouds and rain made it a bit bumpy. With this being a night flight there was not much to see out of the window. | |
