Southern Bogota
Densely packed urban hillsides of Usme and Ciudad Bolivar during the initial climb.
Sumapaz Paramo
The largest high-altitude moorland in the world, featuring unique frailejones plants.
Via al Llano Highway
The complex network of tunnels and bridges snaking through the treacherous terrain below.
Andean Escarpment
A dramatic geological transition where the 2,600m mountains drop sharply to the plains.
The Llanos Horizon
The infinite, flat expanse of the eastern plains stretching toward the horizon.
Early morning flights (before 9:00 AM) are essential to see the Sumapaz Paramo before heavy clouds roll in. This side provides the most 'wow' factor during the sudden descent into Villavicencio.
