Which side of the plane to sit from Rafael Nuñez International Airport (Cartagena) to Alfonso Bonilla Aragon International Airport (Cali)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior mix of coastal Caribbean beauty and dramatic Andean landscapes, including the Rosario Islands and the Farallones de Cali.
Rosario Islands
Spectacular views of the coral archipelago and turquoise waters shortly after takeoff.
Baru Peninsula
Aerial perspective of Playa Blanca and the surrounding mangrove forests.
Western Cordillera
Rugged, emerald-green mountain ridges as the flight path parallels the Pacific-facing range.
Farallones de Cali
The dramatic blue-tinted rock formations and high peaks that guard the western edge of Cali.
This is the premier side for coastal scenery. Watch the window immediately after takeoff from CTG to see the coral reefs. Late afternoon flights provide dramatic shadows over the Western Cordillera, but be prepared for some sun glare when heading south-southwest.
Cartagena Walled City
Bird's-eye view of the historic UNESCO World Heritage fortifications and the Clock Tower.
Canal del Dique
The complex waterway system connecting the Magdalena River to the Bay of Cartagena.
Central Cordillera
Distant views of the towering peaks of the central Andean range during the mid-flight cruise.
Cauca Valley Floor
Expansive views of the fertile agricultural heartland and sugar cane plantations near Cali.
Sit here for better morning lighting as the sun rises in the east. It is the best side for spotting the distant Los Nevados peaks on exceptionally clear days. During descent, look for the silver thread of the Cauca River winding through the valley.
