Nevado del Huila
The highest volcano in Colombia, appearing as a massive snow-capped peak to the east early in the flight.
Puracé National Park
Stunning views of the volcanic landscape and high-altitude paramos near the city of Popayán.
Galeras Volcano
A glimpse of the active volcano looming over the city of Pasto during the mid-flight segment.
Cayambe and Antisana
Dominant peaks of the northern Ecuadorian Andes visible as you cross the international border.
Quito Basin
On clear days, the high-altitude valley containing Ecuador's capital is visible in the distance.
For the best experience, fly during the early morning before 9:00 AM to avoid the typical Andean cloud cover that develops later in the day. Keep your camera ready as you pass the Nariño region and enter Ecuadorian airspace for peak volcano sightings. The sun will be behind you in the morning, providing perfect lighting for photography of the snow-capped summits.
