Search flights from AUA to BOG
Eagle Beach
Stunning aerial perspectives of Aruba's iconic white-sand beaches and luxury resort districts during climb-out.
Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta
On clear days, spot the rare snow-capped peaks of Pico Cristóbal Colón, located surprisingly close to the tropical coast.
Magdalena River Valley
The winding path of Colombia's primary waterway as it carves through the tropical lowlands toward the interior.
Andean Ridges
Dramatic views of the Eastern Cordillera's steep slopes as the aircraft enters the Bogota Savanna region.
The right side is the definitive choice for mountain lovers; seek an early morning flight to maximize your chances of seeing the snow-capped Sierra Nevada peaks before afternoon clouds develop. Ensure you have a window seat forward or aft of the wing to clearly see the Magdalena River snaking through the valley below.

Oranjestad Harbor
Direct views of the Aruban capital's port and southern coastline immediately after takeoff.
Gulf of Venezuela
A massive expanse of blue where the Caribbean Sea meets the northwestern coast of South America.
Serranía del Perijá
The northernmost extension of the Andes which forms the rugged natural border between Colombia and Venezuela.
Northern Bogota
