BOG → SJE
Which side of the plane to sit from El Dorado International Airport (Bogota) to Jorge E. Gonzalez Torres Airport (San Jose Del Guaviare)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dramatic transition from the high Andean paramo to the Amazonian foothills, including distant views of the Macarena mountain range.
Sumapaz Paramo
One of the world's largest alpine moorlands, featuring dramatic ridges and glacial valleys south of Bogota.
Serranía de la Macarena
Distant but distinct silhouettes of the isolated mountain range that hosts the famous 'Liquid Rainbow' river.
Amazon Canopy
The beginning of the unbroken emerald sea of the Amazon rainforest as the plane descends toward the equator.
Serranía de la Lindosa
Ancient rock formations and mesas jutting out of the jungle, famous for prehistoric rock paintings near San Jose.
The right side is ideal for capturing the scale of the Amazonian transition. Watch for the Serranía de la Lindosa on the final descent into SJE; these flat-topped mesas are a geological highlight of the region.
Bogota Savanna
Aerial view of the high-altitude plateau and the dense urban sprawl of the Colombian capital shortly after takeoff.
Chingaza Mountains
The rugged, mist-covered peaks of the Eastern Cordillera, home to unique high-altitude paramo ecosystems.
Rio Guaviare Meanders
The massive, silt-heavy river creating intricate loops and oxbow lakes as it carves through the landscape.
The Llanos Edge
The vast, flat eastern plains meeting the base of the mountains in a sharp geographical boundary.
Sit near the front to avoid wing obstruction when looking back at the Andean slopes. Morning flights offer the clearest views of the mountains before the daily tropical clouds build up over the eastern plains.
