Which side of the plane to sit from El Dorado International Airport (Bogota) to El Yopal Airport (Yopal)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a more dramatic perspective of the Eastern Cordillera's descent, featuring the iconic Monserrate hill immediately after takeoff and a clear view of the transition where the high-altitude Paramo meets the vast tropical plains.

Monserrate & Guadalupe
Iconic hilltops and sanctuaries overlooking Bogota, visible almost immediately after takeoff.
Chingaza National Park
Views of the protected paramo ecosystem, known for its unique frailejones and glacial lagoons.
The Piedmont Drop
A breathtaking visual of the Andes mountains suddenly dropping off into the low-lying plains.
Cravo Sur River
A winding, powerful river that flows from the mountains through Yopal toward the Orinoco basin.
Yopal Gateway
A panoramic view of the 'Piedemonte Llanero' as the city of Yopal appears at the base of the mountains.
The right side is unbeatable for seeing the dramatic contrast between the 2,600-meter Bogota elevation and the 350-meter Yopal elevation. Watch for the sharp change in vegetation from dark green mountain forests to light green tropical savannas. Early morning is best to avoid the haze common in the Llanos region.

Sabana de Bogotá
Expansive views of the high-altitude plateau and the northern urban sprawl of the capital.
Eastern Cordillera
The rugged, green-clad ridges of the Andes mountains as the plane heads northeast.
Tominé Reservoir
A large, deep blue body of water nestled within the Andean valleys north of Bogota.
Boyacá Highlands
Visuals of the rural agricultural patches and high-altitude terrain typical of the region.
Northern Llanos
The first glimpse of the endless horizon where the mountains finally flatten into the plains.
Sit on the left for a better view of the northern Sabana's reservoirs and the agricultural heartland of Boyacá. Morning flights are highly recommended because the mountains are often clear, whereas afternoon flights frequently encounter heavy cloud build-up and turbulence over the ridges.
