Which side of the plane to sit from El Dorado International Airport (Bogota) to Fabio Alberto Leon Bentley Airport (Mitu)?
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.
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.
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.
