Which side of the plane to sit from El Dorado International Airport (Bogota) to Eduardo Falla Solano Airport (San Vincente De Caguan)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers spectacular views of the world's largest paramo ecosystem and the dramatic vertical drop from the Andean peaks into the Amazonian basin.
Sumapaz National Park
The world's largest paramo ecosystem, featuring unique high-altitude lagoons and frailejones shortly after departing Bogota.
Eastern Cordillera Ridges
Dramatic views of the jagged mountain spines of the Andes as the flight heads south-southwest.
Amazonian Piedmont
The lush transition zone where the high mountains meet the beginning of the dense tropical rainforest.
Caguán River
The winding, coffee-colored river that serves as the lifeblood of the Caquetá department during the descent.
Sit on the left side during morning flights to see the sun illuminate the Andean ridges. Keep your camera ready about 10-15 minutes after takeoff for the best views of the high-altitude lagoons in Sumapaz. This side provides a better sense of the scale of the Amazonian transition.
Southern Bogota Savanna
A clear view of the southern outskirts of Bogota and the extensive greenhouse agriculture on the plateau.
Magdalena Valley Vistas
In the distance, you can catch glimpses of the wide valley that sits between the Central and Eastern mountain ranges.
San Vicente Approach
Excellent views of the town layout and the Eduardo Falla Solano airport runway during the final banking maneuver.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It offers a broader perspective of the valley floor and is generally better for seeing the local geography of San Vicente del Caguán upon arrival. Clouds often build up over the mountains in the afternoon, so fly early for maximum visibility.
