Search flights from EJA to BOG
Serrania de los Yariguies
Rugged, densely forested mountain range that provides a dramatic backdrop shortly after takeoff from Barrancabermeja.
Laguna de Fuquene
A large, historic lake visible as the aircraft navigates the high plateau towards the capital.
Sabana de Bogota
The patchwork of emerald green fields and flower greenhouses characteristic of the high-altitude plains.
Northern Bogota Skyline
On the standard approach, get a clear view of the dense urban sprawl and skyscrapers of the Santa Barbara and Chico districts.
Andean Cloud Forests
Intricate layers of mist clinging to the steep ridges of the Eastern Cordillera during the mid-flight climb.
Book a morning flight (before 10:00 AM) to avoid the common afternoon cloud build-up over the Andes. The left side is particularly scenic during the 'Villeta' arrival route into BOG, offering views of the city's upscale northern neighborhoods. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing.

Magdalena River
Expansive views of Colombia's principal river winding through the tropical lowlands near the departure point.
Barrancabermeja Industrial Hub
A unique aerial perspective of the Ecopetrol refinery and the industrial architecture of the 'Oil Capital'.
Distant Central Cordillera
On exceptionally clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the Los Nevados National Park may be visible on the far horizon.
Agricultural Valleys
A bird's eye view of the diverse farming operations in the Magdalena Medio region transition.
El Dorado Final Approach
Views of the western suburbs of Bogota and the heavy air traffic activity near the airport runways.
The right side is excellent for observing the scale of the Magdalena River right after takeoff. If the flight path takes a western swing for traffic management, you will have a better view of the industrial outskirts of Bogota (Fontibon and Engativa). Sit behind the wing for an unobstructed view of the mountain terrain transition.
