Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a more dramatic transition from the high Andean peaks of the Eastern Cordillera to the deep, unbroken canopy of the Amazon rainforest, including views of the Serranía de la Macarena in the distance.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏔️

Eastern Cordillera

The dramatic southern edge of the Andes mountains as the plane descends toward the tropical lowlands.

⛰️

Macarena Foothills

Distant views of the ancient rock formations associated with the Sierra de la Macarena mountain range.

🌲

Amazon Rainforest

An uninterrupted sea of deep green canopy that dominates the second half of the flight route.

🛶

Vaupés River

The dark, winding river systems that serve as the main highways for the indigenous communities near Mitu.

Choose a window seat for a clear view of the mountain-to-jungle transition. Morning flights (7:00 AM - 10:00 AM) are highly recommended to avoid the convective cloud buildup that typically obscures the jungle canopy in the afternoon. Keep your camera ready during the final 15 minutes of the flight for spectacular views of the Vaupés river's 'black water' curves.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Sabana de Bogota

Aerial view of the high-altitude plateau, greenhouse clusters, and the northern sprawl of the capital city.

🌾

Llanos Orientales

The vast, flat grasslands of the Meta department stretching toward the horizon.

💧

Guaviare River Meanders

Large, sweeping curves of the brown-water rivers that mark the boundary between the plains and the jungle.

Sit behind the wing to capture the scale of the plains. This side is better on morning flights to avoid direct sun glare as you head southeast. Look for the distinct line where the grasslands end and the dense forest begins.
