Which side of the plane to sit from Charles de Gaulle International Airport (Paris) to El Dorado International Airport (Bogota)?

Caribbean Basin
Stunning transitions from deep indigo to turquoise as the flight crosses near the Lesser Antilles.
Guajira Peninsula
The northernmost tip of South America where the desert meets the Caribbean Sea.
Magdalena River
View of Colombia's principal river winding through the dense tropical valleys towards the interior.
Bogotá Savanna
The high-altitude plateau known as the Sabana de Bogotá, showing the contrast between urban sprawl and green pastures.
Monserrate & Guadalupe
The famous church-topped hills that overlook the city center, visible during the final moments of landing.
The right side is the 'money side' for landing at El Dorado. Most flights land from the north (Runway 14L/R), placing the vast expanse of the city and the majestic eastern mountains directly in your field of view. Aim for a daytime arrival to see the vibrant colors of the Caribbean and the lush green of the Sabana.

Brittany Coastline
Aerial perspectives of the rugged French western coast and the Bay of Biscay shortly after departure.

Llanos Orientales
The vast, flat tropical grasslands of eastern Colombia visible during the initial descent phase.
Cordillera Oriental
Dramatic jagged peaks and high-altitude paramo ecosystems of the easternmost Andean range.
Choose the left side for morning departures to enjoy the European coastline without direct sun glare. During the final approach to BOG, this side provides a close-up look at the high-altitude mountain ridges of the Andes, but you may miss the main city view depending on the landing pattern.
