Which side of the plane to sit from Gustavo Rojas Pinilla International Airport (San Andres Island) to Alfonso Bonilla Aragon International Airport (Cali)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior visual experience, featuring a better view of San Andres upon departure and the sprawling skyline of Cali framed by the Farallones mountains during the final descent.
Johnny Cay
A spectacular aerial view of the small, palm-dotted islet just off the coast of San Andres immediately after takeoff.
Gulf of Urabá
The geographic meeting point of the Caribbean Sea and the South American continent.
Farallones de Cali
The iconic, rugged blue peaks of the Western Andes that tower over the city of Cali.
Cauca River Valley
The wide, fertile agricultural valley characterized by massive sugar cane plantations and the winding Cauca River.
Cali Cityscape
A comprehensive view of the 'Salsa Capital' as the aircraft maneuvers for landing at Alfonso Bonilla Aragon.
The right side is the 'money side' for this route. During the descent into the Cauca Valley, the pilot usually aligns the aircraft in a way that places the city of Cali and the imposing Farallones mountains directly in your line of sight. For the best photography, choose a seat behind the wing to capture the contrast between the green valley and the urban sprawl.
Sea of Seven Colors
The varying depths of the Caribbean create a stunning mosaic of turquoise and deep blue near the San Andres banks.
Chocó Rainforests
Vast stretches of some of the densest and most biodiverse tropical jungles in the world as you cross onto the mainland.
Cordillera Central
Distant views of the high peaks of the Central Andes range under clear weather conditions.
Pacific Cloud Formations
Dramatic cumulus clouds often form over the high-humidity Chocó region, creating a majestic atmospheric display.
The left side is excellent for observing the remote wilderness of the Pacific coast. Since this region is notoriously rainy, book an early morning flight (before 10:00 AM) to avoid the heavy convective cloud cover that typically obscures the jungle by mid-afternoon.
