Which side of the plane to sit from El Dorado International Airport (Bogota) to Antonio Narino Airport (Pasto)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers unparalleled views of the massive Nevado del Huila and the Puracé volcanic chain, providing a front-row seat to Colombia's most dramatic high-altitude landscapes.
Bogota Urban Sprawl
A sweeping view of the southern capital districts and the transition to the rural Altiplano as the plane climbs south.
Nevado del Huila
The highest volcano in Colombia, appearing mid-flight as a massive, glacier-capped sentinel rising above the Central Cordillera.
Puracé National Park
The Coconucos volcanic chain, featuring the active Puracé volcano with its distinct sulfur-colored craters.
Magdalena River Basin
Aerial perspectives of Colombia's principal river snaking through the deep valley between the Eastern and Central Andes.
Paramo Highlands
The rare and vital high-altitude moorland ecosystems of the Sumapaz area shortly after takeoff.
Book an early morning flight (6:00 AM - 8:00 AM) to catch the sunrise illuminating the glaciers of Nevado del Huila. This is also when clouds are least likely to obscure the volcanic peaks. The left side (Seat A) is superior for seeing the highest peaks of the Colombian Andes.
Los Nevados
On clear days, the distant snow-capped peaks of Nevado del Ruiz and Tolima are visible to the northwest during the initial cruise.
Cauca River Valley
The fertile, lush green valley floor of the Cauca region, known for its extensive sugarcane and agricultural plantations.
Galeras Volcano
One of Colombia's most active volcanoes, dominating the horizon during the final approach into Pasto's challenging airport.
Patía Valley
A unique dry-forest ecosystem and canyon landscape visible as the plane enters the Nariño department.
Cali Distance View
The sprawl of Cali and the Farallones de Cali mountains can often be spotted on the horizon during the mid-flight segment.
The right side (Seat F) is best for the dramatic final approach into Antonio Nariño Airport. The descent involves flying very close to the Galeras Volcano. Afternoon flights are better on this side as the sun will be behind the aircraft, reducing glare on the window.
