San Andres Barrier Reef
Extensive views of the third largest barrier reef in the world along the island's eastern edge.
Bocagrande Skyline
A breathtaking view of Cartagena's 'Little Miami' with its modern white skyscrapers jutting into the sea.
The Walled City
Aerial perspective of the historic colonial center, San Felipe Castle, and the ancient stone fortifications.
Cartagena Bay
The bustling maritime port and the island of Tierra Bomba acting as a natural shield for the city.
Convento de la Popa
The historic convent perched atop the city's highest hill, visible during the final banking maneuvers.
The right side is the 'money shot' for Cartagena arrivals. Try to book a seat behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the Walled City. Morning flights are best for this side to have the sun behind you, perfectly lighting up the city's colorful colonial facades.

Johnny Cay
A vibrant view of the small coral islet and its surrounding turquoise waters immediately after takeoff.
Sea of Seven Colors
Dramatic gradients of blue and green visible over the San Andres coral reef system.
Caribbean Shipping Routes
Distant cargo vessels and cruise ships navigating the deep Caribbean waters towards Central America.
La Boquilla
The long, sandy northern beaches of Cartagena visible during the final minutes of the flight.
Sit on the left side to avoid the harsh afternoon sun while flying east-northeast. This side is ideal for capturing the crystal-clear reef structures around San Andres without glare. If the plane approaches from the north, you will have a clear view of the northern hotel zone.
