Which side of the plane to sit from Rafael Nuñez International Airport (Cartagena) to El Dorado International Airport (Bogota)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior for this route because it captures the most iconic aerial views of Cartagena's historic center and skyscrapers immediately upon takeoff, which is the visual highlight of the trip.

Cartagena Walled City
The UNESCO World Heritage site's colonial architecture and fortifications seen clearly from above.
Bocagrande Skyline
The impressive row of modern white skyscrapers lining the Caribbean beach, often called the Miami of Colombia.
Rosario Islands
The turquoise waters and coral formations of the archipelago visible in the distance to the southwest.
Magdalena River
The main river of Colombia, snaking through the lush tropical valley between the two mountain ranges.
Bogota Savanna
The high-altitude plateau surrounding the capital, filled with greenhouses, farms, and small colonial towns.
Crucial for the best photos of Cartagena's Walled City and Bocagrande. For afternoon flights, you'll enjoy the sun setting over the distant Central Cordillera. During the landing phase, look for the agricultural patterns of the Bogota savanna and the airport's massive infrastructure.
