Which side of the plane to sit from Alfonso Bonilla Aragon International Airport (Cali) to El Dorado International Airport (Bogota)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most dramatic entry into the Bogota savannah, providing expansive views of the southern urban sprawl, the iconic eastern hills, and the high-altitude paramo ecosystems.
Nevado del Huila
Visibility of Colombia's highest volcano and its permanent glaciers to the south during the first half of the trip.
Sumapaz Páramo
The world's largest alpine tundra ecosystem, featuring unique lagoons and rugged high-altitude terrain near the approach.
Bogotá Skyline
Dramatic views of the city's dense urban center and high-rise buildings as the plane aligns with the runway.
Monserrate & Guadalupe
Close-up views of the iconic hills and sanctuaries that guard the eastern edge of the capital city during descent.
Choose a 'K' seat for the best perspective of the city during landing. Late afternoon flights offer spectacular 'Golden Hour' lighting over the Eastern Hills, though turbulent air is more common over the mountains later in the day.
Cauca River Valley
Aerial view of the vast sugarcane plantations and the meandering Cauca River immediately after departing from Palmira.
Nevado del Tolima
On clear days, the distant snow-capped peak of this volcanic giant is visible to the north within the Central Cordillera.
Magdalena River
A cross-section view of Colombia's largest river as the flight transitions between the two major Andean ranges.
Northern Sabana
The green agricultural patchwork and numerous flower greenhouses characteristic of the high-altitude plateau near Bogota.
Morning flights (before 9:00 AM) are highly recommended to avoid the typical cloud cover that obscures the Nevados. Seats in front of the wing (Rows 5-10) provide the most stable platform for photography of the Central Cordillera.
