CLOPSO

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a front-row seat to the volcanic chain of the Central Cordillera, offering views of the Puracé and Sotará volcanoes and the high-altitude paramo landscapes of Nariño.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Central Cordillera

Dramatic views of the high peaks of the central Andean range shortly after takeoff.

🌋

Puracé Volcano

Visible near Popayán, this active volcano often features a visible plume of steam or gas.

🌾

Paramo de Sotará

High-altitude moorlands with unique vegetation visible during the mid-flight segment.

⛰️

Volcanic Chain

A series of volcanic peaks stretching south towards the Ecuadorian border.

Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid the heavy afternoon cloud cover that often obscures the volcanic peaks. Look out shortly after passing Popayán for the best views of the active Puracé volcano. Keep your camera ready as you cross the high-altitude paramos where the terrain turns a unique golden-green.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
⛰️

Farallones de Cali

The stunning blue-hued peaks of the Western Cordillera visible immediately after departure.

🏜️

Patía Valley

A deep and arid canyon landscape that contrasts sharply with the green mountains nearby.

🌊

Pacific Horizon

On exceptionally clear days, the distant haze of the Pacific coastal plains can be seen.

✈️

Chachagüí Canyon

A thrilling view of the deep ravines and rugged terrain surrounding the airport during final approach.

The right side is ideal for observing the dramatic change in terrain as the lush valley floor turns into the dry Patía canyon. During the descent into PSO, which is built on a plateau, the right side offers a spectacular perspective of the deep cliffs surrounding the runway. Afternoon flights may offer better lighting for the Western Cordillera.
