Bogotá Cityscape
Panoramic views of the sprawling capital and the western edge of the Sabana de Bogotá shortly after takeoff.
Magdalena River
Watch the winding curves of Colombia's most important river as the aircraft crosses the inter-Andean valley.
Los Nevados Peaks
On clear days, the distant glacier-capped peak of Nevado del Ruiz is visible to the southwest.
Gulf of Urabá
The sparkling waters of the Caribbean Sea and the mouth of the Atrato River appearing during the final descent.
Turbo Coastline
Views of the port town of Turbo and the intricate mangrove systems along the coast.
Book a window seat in the front half of the plane to avoid wing obstruction. Opt for a morning flight (before 9:00 AM) to maximize the chances of seeing the snow-capped volcanoes before afternoon clouds build up over the Andes. The view of the Gulf of Urabá is most prominent about 10 minutes before touchdown.

Sabana de Bogotá
The high-altitude plateau with its patchwork of greenhouses and agricultural fields immediately after departure.
Central Cordillera
Rugged, emerald-green mountain ridges and deep canyons as you traverse the heart of the Colombian Andes.
Serranía de Abibe
The dense tropical forests of the Western Cordillera's northern foothills.
The Banana Sea
Endless, perfectly gridded plantations of bananas and plantains that define the landscape of the Urabá region.
The right side provides an excellent perspective of the transition from high-altitude mountains to the tropical lowlands. Keep your camera ready as you approach Carepa to capture the vast scale of the banana industry, which looks like a green carpet stretching to the horizon.
