EOHBOG

Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers an unparalleled view of the Medellin skyline and the El Poblado district during takeoff from EOH, followed by a dramatic approach into Bogota across the northern Savannah.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🏙️

Medellin Cityscape

Immediately after takeoff, you get a close-up view of the dense red-brick high-rises of El Poblado and the downtown skyline.

⛰️

Cordillera Central

Soar directly over the rugged peaks of the Central Andes as the plane exits the Aburrá Valley.

💧

Guatapé Reservoir

On clear days, the sprawling blue fingers of the Peñol-Guatapé reservoir are visible to the east shortly after departure.

🌾

Bogota Savannah

As you descend, witness the vast, flat high-altitude plateau and the greenhouse-covered flower farms of Cundinamarca.

🏢

North Bogota

During a southern approach, you will see the northern residential sprawl and the distinct mountains bordering the capital.

Book an early morning flight (before 9:00 AM) to maximize visibility, as the Andes often develop heavy cloud cover by the afternoon. Sit toward the front or middle to keep the wing from obstructing the steep climb out of the narrow Medellin valley.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🏔️

Western Aburrá Ridge

View the steep, lush green mountains that form the western wall of the Medellin valley during the initial climb.

🌋

Nevado del Ruiz

Looking south/southwest mid-flight, you can often spot the distant, smoke-trailing snow-capped peaks of the Los Nevados National Park.

🌊

Magdalena River

Catch glimpses of the Magdalena River winding through the valley floor between the two main Andean ranges.

🏗️

Bogota Industrial West

See the massive logistics centers and industrial zones of Fontibon and Madrid as the plane aligns with the BOG runways.

The right side is ideal for photographers interested in capturing the distant volcanic peaks of the Central Range. Keep your camera ready about 15-20 minutes into the flight for the best chance to see the snow-capped volcanoes if the weather is clear.
