EOH → APO
Which side of the plane to sit from Enrique Olaya Herrera Airport (Medellin) to Antonio Roldan Betancourt Airport (Carepa)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an unparalleled perspective of the Medellin skyline immediately after takeoff, followed by a stunning transition from high Andean peaks to the vast green canopy of the Uraba banana plantations.

Medellin Skyline
A spectacular view of the downtown skyscrapers and the red-brick architecture of the Aburra Valley.
Cauca River Canyon
The massive, brown silt-filled river carving through the deep valleys of the Antioquia department.
The Banana Sea
Massive, perfectly gridded banana and plantain plantations that stretch to the horizon near Carepa.
Apartado Urban Area
A clear view of the bustling regional hub of Uraba just before touching down at APO.
The right side is the 'money shot' for this route. Sit here for the best views of Medellin's urban density. Flights scheduled between 8:00 AM and 10:00 AM provide the best lighting for photography, as the sun illuminates the mountains from the east without creating heavy shadows in the valleys.

Western Cordillera Peaks
Witness the rugged, razor-sharp ridges of the Andes as the aircraft clears the Aburra Valley.
Serrania de Abibe
Dense tropical forests covering the mountain range that separates the interior from the Caribbean coast.
Gulf of Uraba Coastline
On clear days during the descent, the blue waters of the Caribbean inlet are visible in the distance.
Sit on the left if you prefer raw, mountainous landscapes. The best visibility occurs on the earliest morning flights before the clouds build up over the high ridges of the Cordillera. Keep an eye out for small mining settlements tucked into deep valleys.
