Our Recommendation
9.1

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular vantage point of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta and an iconic final approach over the turquoise waters and white sands of Saona Island.

Right Side Highlights
9.1
🏔️

Cordillera Oriental

Dramatic views of the eastern branch of the Andes with its sharp ridges and deep valleys.

❄️

Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta

The world's highest coastal mountain range, often showing snow-capped peaks against the tropical coastline.

🌵

Guajira Peninsula

The striking yellow desert landscapes of northernmost Colombia meeting the turquoise Caribbean.

🏝️

Saona Island

A breathtaking view of this protected island known for its white sand and shallow turquoise pools.

🏨

Punta Cana Hotel Zone

Low-altitude views of the famous white-sand beaches and resort complexes during the final descent.

The right side is significantly better for landmarks. Aim for a morning flight to see the Sierra Nevada peaks clearly before clouds gather. Ensure your camera is ready about 20 minutes before landing to capture Saona Island, which is a highlight of the trip.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Bogota Savanna

View the sprawling high-altitude plateau of the Colombian capital and its northern agricultural outskirts.

🌊

Caribbean Horizon

Unobstructed views of the deep blue Caribbean Sea as you cross from South America toward Hispaniola.

🏖️

Dominican South Coast

Sightings of the rugged coastline near Barahona and the southern shores of the Dominican Republic.

⛳

La Romana

Aerial views of the luxury golf courses and coastal developments of the Casa de Campo area.

Choose this side for late afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the Caribbean Sea. It is also the better side if you want to see the expansive urban layout of Bogota during the initial climb.
