Which side of the plane to sit from El Dorado International Airport (Bogota) to Gustavo Vargas Airport (Tame)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most dramatic views as you transition from the high-altitude Andean peaks to the infinite horizons of the Llanos Orientales, including a chance to see the glaciated peaks of the Sierra Nevada del Cocuy.

Sabana de Bogota
Aerial view of the high-altitude plateau and the northern urban sprawl of the capital city.
Sisga Reservoir
A stunning deep blue man-made lake surrounded by lush green mountain ridges.
Sierra Nevada del Cocuy
On clear days, the glaciated white peaks of the highest point in the Eastern Cordillera are visible to the north.
The Great Descent
The dramatic point where the Andes mountains abruptly end and the flat plains begin.
Early morning flights (6 AM to 9 AM) are essential to avoid the dense cloud cover that typically forms over the Andes by midday. Look out the window roughly 20 minutes into the flight for the best mountain-to-plain transition views. The glaciated peaks of Cocuy will appear far on the northern horizon if the sky is exceptionally clear.

Chingaza National Park
A glimpse into the high-altitude paramo ecosystem, vital for the region's water supply.
Cordillera Oriental Ridges
Deep, jagged green valleys and sharp mountain spines that define the Eastern Andes.
Meandering Rivers
The complex, winding S-curves of the rivers as they emerge from the mountains into the plains.
Los Llanos
The vast, flat ranching lands of the Orinoquia region stretching toward the horizon.
Sit on the right side if you enjoy watching river morphology; the rivers in the Casanare and Arauca departments create beautiful patterns from above. During the wet season (May-October), the plains on this side may appear partially flooded, creating mirror-like reflections of the sky. Afternoon flights provide warm, golden lighting on the mountain ridges.
