Which side of the plane to sit from Alfonso Bonilla Aragon International Airport (Cali) to La Florida Airport (Tumaco)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most dramatic views of the Farallones de Cali mountains and the deep transition from the Cauca Valley into the dense Pacific rainforest.
Farallones de Cali
Immediately after takeoff, witness the towering granite peaks of the Western Andes rising above the valley.
Munchique National Park
Fly over one of Colombia's most biodiverse cloud forests, often carpeted in mist and deep green foliage.
Patía River
See the massive, meandering curves of the Patía River as it cuts through the jungle toward the ocean.
Cauca Valley Floor
A brief view of the organized agricultural landscape of the valley before entering the wilderness.
Book a window seat on the left for morning departures. The early sun hits the Farallones peaks perfectly for photography. As this is a short flight, stay alert immediately after takeoff from CLO for the best mountain views.
Pacific Ocean
The vast blue horizon of the Pacific becomes visible as you descend from the Andean foothills.
Chocó Biogeographic Region
One of the wettest places on Earth, showcasing an unbroken canopy of primary rainforest.
Ensenada de Tumaco
The stunning bay surrounding Tumaco, featuring small islets and sandbars during the final approach.
Coastal Mangroves
Intricate networks of mangrove forests and small water channels characteristic of the Nariño coast.
The right side is superior during the final 10 minutes of the flight. You get a better view of the Tumaco town layout and the bridge connecting the islands. Ideal for those who prefer coastal and ocean vistas over mountain peaks.
