BOGEOH

Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers an unparalleled view of the Medellin skyline and the lush slopes of El Poblado as the aircraft descends deep into the Aburra Valley for a landing at the city-center airport.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🏙️

Bogota North Skyline

Excellent views of the capital's northern residential districts and the sharp rise of the Eastern Hills shortly after departure.

🌋

Nevado del Ruiz

On clear days, the distant white glaciated peaks of the Los Nevados National Natural Park are visible on the horizon.

🌿

Antioquia Highlands

Intricate views of the steep, emerald-green ridges and coffee-growing terrain as the aircraft enters the department of Antioquia.

🏢

El Poblado District

An iconic close-up view of Medellin's red-brick skyscrapers and vertical urbanism nestled against the mountainside during landing.

The right side is the definitive choice for the 'Medellin Approach.' Sit here for the best views of the city center and the El Poblado district. Since the flight is short (approx. 45 minutes) and uses smaller aircraft, choose a seat not obstructed by the high-wing structure typical of ATR planes used on this route.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏞️

Sabana de Bogota

Aerial views of the high-altitude plateau, featuring the patchwork of flower greenhouses and the surrounding Bogota savanna.

🌊

Magdalena River Valley

A crossing of Colombia's most important waterway as it snakes through the dense tropical forest between the central and eastern cordilleras.

⛰️

Central Cordillera

Dramatic views of the rugged, steep green peaks that characterize the heart of the Colombian Andean landscape.

🏘️

Itagüí and Southern Aburra

Detailed views of the industrial and residential sprawl of the southern valley during the final low-altitude approach.

Opt for the left side on afternoon flights to watch the sun set over the Western Cordillera. This side provides a broader perspective of the Magdalena Valley's vast geography during the middle of the flight.
