Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides an unparalleled view of the Bogota skyline and the vast, misty peaks of the Sumapaz National Park, the largest paramo ecosystem in the world.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
๐Ÿ™๏ธ

Bogota Cityscape

Aerial views of downtown Bogota, including the iconic Monserrate and Guadalupe hills immediately after takeoff.

๐Ÿ”๏ธ

Sumapaz Paramo

Dramatic views of the high-altitude Andean moorlands, characterized by unique lagoons and rugged mountain ridges.

๐Ÿ

Magdalena River

The winding path of Colombia's principal river as the flight descends into the Huila department.

โ›ฐ๏ธ

Eastern Cordillera

Close-up perspectives of the sharp ridges and deep green valleys of the eastern branch of the Andes.

Sit on the left for morning flights to get the best illumination of the Bogota mountains without sun glare. Watch for the sudden change in vegetation from the lush green paramo to the drier tropical valley as you approach Neiva.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
๐Ÿšœ

Sabana de Bogotรก

Views of the sprawling agricultural fields and industrial outskirts of the capital plateau.

๐ŸŒ‹

Central Cordillera

On very clear days, the distant snow-capped peaks of the Central Andes, including Nevado del Huila, are visible to the west.

๐ŸŒต

Upper Magdalena Valley

The transition into the dry tropical forest landscape and the distinct brownish hues of the terrain near Neiva.

โœˆ๏ธ

Neiva Approach

Excellent views of the urban layout of Neiva and the Benito Salas airport runway during the final descent.

The right side is preferable for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the Central Cordillera. Keep your camera ready during the final minutes of flight for the best views of the arid Huila landscape.
