Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the Medellín skyline immediately after takeoff and provides the most iconic views of the Bahía Solano coastline and the town of Ciudad Mutis during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🏢

Medellín Skyscrapers

Unmatched views of the Coltejer building and the dense urban architecture of downtown Medellín shortly after departure from EOH.

⛰️

Western Cordillera Ridges

Sharp mountain ridges and deep green valleys where the Andes begin to slope down toward the Pacific lowlands.

🛶

Atrato River Basin

Views of the meandering river systems and wetlands that define the geography of the northern Chocó department.

🏝️

Bahía Solano Bay

A spectacular view of the deep blue bay, the surrounding emerald hills, and the town of Ciudad Mutis during the descent.

This is the 'money side' for the landing approach. As the plane descends over the mountains, the Pacific Ocean and the bay appear suddenly. Choose a window seat away from the wing to capture the contrast between the dark volcanic sand beaches and the vibrant green jungle. Bring a high-speed camera as the transition from mountain to coast happens very quickly.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Aburrá Valley South

Aerial views of the southern districts of Medellín, including El Poblado and Envigado, against the valley walls.

⛰️

Farallones del Citará

Dramatic views of the high peaks in the Western Cordillera as the plane crosses the Andean divide.

🌳

Chocó Rainforest Canopy

An endless carpet of dense, primary tropical rainforest, known as one of the most biodiverse areas on the planet.

🌊

Utría National Park

Depending on the flight path, distant views of the jagged coastline and the protected waters of Ensenada de Utría to the south.

Sit toward the front of the aircraft to avoid the engine and wings on the typical turboprop planes used for this route. Morning flights are highly recommended, as cloud cover in the Chocó region increases significantly after midday, often obscuring the jungle canopy.
