Buenaventura Bay
A bird's-eye view of Colombia's largest Pacific port and the intricate mangrove systems.
Farallones de Cali
Stunning views of the ancient, jagged rock formations of the southern Western Cordillera.
Nevado del Tolima
The iconic snow-capped volcanic cone of the Central Cordillera visible during the mid-flight cruise.
Magdalena River
The winding 'Great River of the Magdalena' snaking through the valley before the final ascent.
Bogotá City View
As the plane turns for its final approach into El Dorado, you often get a sweeping view of the city's southern and central density.
This is the prime side for volcano spotting. Keep your camera ready about 15-20 minutes after takeoff for the snow-capped peaks of the Central Cordillera. Due to the high altitude of the destination, the descent starts early; ensure your window is clean for the dramatic 'climb' onto the Bogotá plateau.

Chocó Rainforest & Coast
Dense, emerald-green tropical rainforests of the Pacific lowlands meeting the coastline.
Western Cordillera
The first mountain barrier encountered, featuring steep ridges and deep river canyons.
Cauca River Valley
Expansive agricultural plains known for sugarcane production between the mountain ranges.
Northern Nevados
On clear days, distant views of the Los Nevados National Park volcanoes to the north.
Sabana de Bogotá North
The high plateau approach showing the northern residential expansion and greenhouses.
Sit toward the front to avoid the wing blocking the view of the Western Cordillera. This side is better if you want to see the contrast between the jungle and the rising hills of the coffee region to the north. Morning flights are essential as clouds typically build up over the Chocó by 11:00 AM.
