Which side of the plane to sit from Araracuara Airport (Araracuara) to Eduardo Falla Solano Airport (San Vincente De Caguan)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior vantage point for viewing the spectacular meandering loops of the Caguán River and the distant, ancient tepui formations of the Chiribiquete range.
Araracuara Canyon
Immediately after takeoff, witness the powerful Caquetá River squeezing through the narrow, dramatic rock walls of the canyon.
Chiribiquete Outcrops
Catch glimpses of the distant, prehistoric table-top mountains belonging to the world-renowned Serranía de Chiribiquete.
Caguán Meanders
The river creates incredible oxbow lakes and silver loops that stand out sharply against the dark green jungle floor.
Canopy Transitions
Watch the forest structure change from the dense, flooded 'igapó' to taller 'terra firme' rainforest.
Colonization Frontier
Observe the striking line where the deep jungle gives way to the first small pastures and farms near San Vicente.
Opt for an early morning departure to see the white mist clinging to the river valleys, which provides a high-contrast view of the terrain. Use a polarizing filter if photographing to cut through the atmospheric haze and water reflections.
Yarí River Drainage
View the vast network of smaller tributaries that feed the Yarí River system to the north.
Virgin Wilderness
Stretches of completely uninhabited primary rainforest stretching toward the horizon with no signs of human impact.
Indigenous Clearings
Spot tiny, isolated clearings and traditional dwellings located deep within the forest along small streams.
Low-Altitude Vistas
Because these flights often operate at lower altitudes, you can see individual emergent trees towering above the forest canopy.
The right side is excellent for observing cloud dynamics and the 'ocean of trees' effect. Watch for the distinct color changes in the water where different tributaries meet, ranging from tea-colored blackwater to silty brown.
