Sea of Seven Colors
A breathtaking aerial view of the turquoise and deep blue gradients surrounding San Andres Island immediately after takeoff.
Gulf of Urabá
The geographic point where the Caribbean Sea meets the Colombian mainland, featuring the coastal town of Turbo.
Nevado del Ruiz
On clear days, the majestic snow-capped peaks of the Central Cordillera are visible during the descent phase.
Coffee Cultural Landscape
Lush, rolling green hills of the UNESCO-listed coffee region appearing as the plane prepares for landing.
Pereira City Center
A birds-eye view of the Otún River and the urban density of the 'Pearl of the Otún' just before touchdown.
Book an 'A' seat for morning flights to minimize solar glare while viewing the volcanoes. This side is superior for photography of the coral reefs during departure. Keep your window shade up as the plane crosses the coastline near the Gulf of Urabá for the best contrast between sea and jungle.

Johnny Cay
A quick glimpse of the famous islet and its surrounding coral reefs depending on the departure runway.
Chocó Rainforest
The dense, emerald-green canopy of one of the most biodiverse and rainiest regions on Earth.
Western Cordillera
The rugged peaks of the westernmost branch of the Colombian Andes stretching toward the Pacific.
Cauca River Valley
The wide, fertile valley between the mountain ranges, characterized by sprawling agricultural estates.
Choose an 'F' seat if you prefer watching the sunset over the Western Cordillera on late afternoon flights. This side provides a better perspective of the vastness of the Chocó rainforest. Ensure you are looking out during the mid-flight segment to see the distinct change in topography from flat sea to vertical mountain terrain.
