Bogotá Savanna
Dramatic views of the southern urban sprawl and the surrounding plateau immediately after takeoff.
Nevado del Tolima
Distant but clear views of the iconic snow-capped volcanic peak in the Central Cordillera.
Cauca Valley
A vast expanse of emerald green sugarcane plantations stretching between the Central and Western Cordilleras.
Farallones de Cali
The rugged, blue-tinted peaks of the Western Cordillera that guard the entrance to the Pacific region.
Anchicayá Jungle
Dense, untouched tropical rainforest canyons as the plane begins its final descent.
Book an early morning flight (before 9:00 AM) to maximize the chances of seeing the 'Nevados' before clouds accumulate. Sit in a window seat well behind or in front of the wing to capture the contrast between the high Andes and the Pacific lowlands. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Western Cordillera for the best lighting.
