Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a front-row seat to the dramatic transition from the high peaks of the Western Cordillera to the dense, untouched Chocoan rainforest and the intricate river systems leading to Guapi.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
⛰️

Farallones de Cali

Stunning views of the rugged blue peaks and high-altitude moorlands shortly after takeoff.

☁️

Andean Cloud Forest

Dense, mist-shrouded greenery covering the steep slopes of the Western Andes.

🐍

Rio Naya Meanders

The silver, snake-like curves of the Naya River cutting through the primary rainforest.

🌳

ChocΓ³ Bioregion

An endless canopy of one of the most biodiverse and rainiest jungles on the planet.

🚁

Guapi River Valley

A close-up view of the river bank life as the plane descends into the coastal lowlands.

Sit on the left for the most dramatic mountain views during the first half of the flight. Morning flights (08:00 - 10:00) are highly recommended to avoid the heavy afternoon tropical cloud cover that often obscures the jungle floor. Look for the distinct change in vegetation as you drop from the Andes into the humid Pacific basin.

Right Side Highlights
7.9
🌊

Pacific Ocean Horizon

The vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean becomes visible as the aircraft clears the mountain range.

🏝️

Gorgona Island Silhouette

On very clear days, look northwest to spot the distant outline of this former prison island and national park.

πŸ›Ά

Coastal Estuaries

Intricate networks of mangroves and silt-heavy river mouths meeting the saltwater.

🏠

Pacific Settlements

Glimpses of isolated wooden stilt-house communities accessible only by boat.

The right side is best for those wanting to catch the first glimpse of the ocean. During the rainy season (April-November), this side may offer better views of lightning storms over the sea if flying in the late afternoon. Keep your camera ready for the final approach, as the plane often banks over the mangrove forests before landing.
