Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides exceptional views of the Mexican Caribbean islands shortly after takeoff, followed by the remote San Andrés archipelago and a more dramatic entry over the Colombian mountain ranges.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏝️

Cozumel Island

A stunning view of Mexico's largest Caribbean island and its surrounding coral reefs immediately after departure.

🐚

San Andrés & Providencia

The 'Sea of Seven Colors' is visible as the flight path passes directly over or near these Colombian islands.

🌴

Gulf of Urabá

The point where the Central American isthmus meets South America, characterized by dense tropical vegetation.

🏔️

Cordillera Occidental

Dramatic views of the westernmost branch of the Colombian Andes as the altitude begins to drop.

🚜

Sabana de Bogotá

The high-altitude plateau reveals a patchwork of greenhouses and agricultural fields just before landing.

The right side is superior for island spotting. Keep your camera ready about 60-80 minutes into the flight for the San Andrés archipelago. Avoid midday flights if possible to minimize glare from the sun when looking toward the Pacific coast side of the continent.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏝️

Riviera Maya Coast

Aerial view of the resort-lined coast stretching south from Cancún toward Playa del Carmen.

🌊

Caribbean Horizon

Uninterrupted views of the deep turquoise and navy gradients of the Caribbean Sea.

⛰️

Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta

On clear days, the distant snow-capped peaks of the world's highest coastal range can be seen to the east.

🏙️

Bogotá Eastern Hills

Close-up views of the Monserrate and Guadalupe sanctuaries as the plane circles for its final approach.

Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the sea. During the final approach into El Dorado, the left side typically offers a better view of the dense urban sprawl and the iconic mountains that border the city to the east.
