Bahía Solano Coastline
Striking views of the rugged Pacific shore where dark volcanic sands meet the deep blue ocean.
Serranía del Baudó
The initial ascent passes over this isolated coastal mountain range, draped in thick, misty rainforest.
Atrato River Basin
Vast expanses of wetlands and the winding waterways of the Chocó, one of the world's wettest regions.
Western Cordillera Peaks
Aerial views of the jagged ridges of the westernmost branch of the Colombian Andes.
North Medellín Skyline
A stunning perspective of the northern Aburrá Valley, including the city of Bello, during the steep descent.
Schedule a morning flight between 7:00 AM and 10:00 AM to avoid the heavy cloud cover that typically develops over the Chocó jungle by midday. On the approach to Enrique Olaya Herrera Airport, the left side typically offers the most dramatic views of the city's vertical architecture.

Ensenada de Utría
Views of the nearby National Park's unique inlets and biodiverse coastal lagoons to the south.
Chocó Jungle Canopy
An unbroken sea of green that showcases the intense density of the Colombian tropical rainforest.
Cauca River Valley
The broad valley visible as you cross the divide between the Western and Central Andean ranges.
South Aburrá Valley
Bird's-eye views of the residential districts of Envigado and Itagüí along the valley slopes.
Medellín Stadium District
Potential sightings of the Atanasio Girardot sports complex if the flight path aligns with a southern approach.
While the left side is often preferred for the city view, the right side benefits from better sunlight during morning flights, as the sun will be behind you rather than in your eyes. Keep your camera ready for the sudden transition from uninhabited jungle to dense urbanity.
