Which side of the plane to sit from El Eden Airport (Armenia) to El Dorado International Airport (Bogota)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an unparalleled view of the majestic Nevado del Tolima volcano and the most dramatic perspectives of the Bogota skyline during the final approach over the savannah.
Nevado del Tolima
A stunning, symmetrical snow-capped volcanic cone that dominates the horizon shortly after departure.
Ibagué City
Clear views of the 'Musical Capital of Colombia' nestled at the base of the Andes.
The Magdalena Valley
A wide perspective of the tropical valley separating the Central and Eastern mountain ranges.
Bogota Cityscape
During the standard approach, this side offers the best views of the high-density urban center and the Monserrate hills.
This is the 'volcano side.' Keep your camera ready within the first 10-15 minutes of flight for the Nevado del Tolima. For the best lighting on the city during landing, late afternoon flights provide a golden hue over the Bogota buildings.
Quindío Coffee Zone
Lush, rolling hills of the Eje Cafetero immediately after takeoff from Armenia.
Nevado del Ruiz
In the distance to the north, the snow-capped peak of one of Colombia's most active volcanoes is often visible.
Magdalena River
Aerial view of Colombia's principal river as the flight crosses the valley floor between the mountain ranges.
Northern Savannah
The patchwork of greenhouses and agricultural fields of the Altiplano Cundiboyacense during descent.
Morning flights are best to avoid the afternoon cloud buildup common in the Central Cordillera. Look out early for the distinct green patterns of coffee plantations before the plane gains high altitude over the mountains.
