Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a stunning progression from the volcanic peaks of the Central Cordillera and the Macizo Colombiano down into the dense, vibrant green of the Amazon rainforest basin.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Central Cordillera

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

🌋

Puracé Volcano

Visible in the distance, this active stratovolcano is part of the Puracé National Natural Park near Popayán.

⛰️

Macizo Colombiano

The 'Great Colombian Massif' where the Andes split, featuring deep canyons and rugged mountain terrain.

🏘️

Mocoa Foothills

The transition zone where the high mountains drop sharply into the jungle lowlands near the Putumayo border.

🌳

Amazonian Canopy

Endless views of the dense rainforest as you descend toward the Putumayo region.

Opt for an early morning flight to minimize the risk of convective cloud buildup which often obscures the mountains by midday. Keep your camera ready about 15-20 minutes after takeoff to catch the volcanic peaks. The transition from high-altitude paramo to tropical jungle is the visual highlight of this route.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
⛰️

Farallones de Cali

The towering rock formations of the Western Cordillera visible immediately to the west of Cali.

⛪

Popayán Valley

View of the 'White City' and its surrounding fertile agricultural highlands during the mid-flight segment.

🛶

Patía River Basin

The winding path of the Patía River as it flows through the dry tropical forests of the valley below.

🌊

Putumayo River

The massive, meandering river that defines the landscape as you approach the border with Ecuador.

The right side is excellent for seeing the urban sprawl of Cali upon departure. Sit behind the wing to get the best views of the Putumayo River's oxbow lakes during the final approach. This side often benefits from softer lighting during afternoon flights.
