Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers an unbeatable perspective of downtown Medellin immediately after takeoff from EOH, followed by dramatic views of the Central Cordillera and the sprawling urban layout of Monteria upon arrival.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏙️

Medellin Downtown

An intimate view of the Coltejer building and the dense urban core of Medellin shortly after departure.

🏔️

El Picacho Hill

The prominent northern peak of the Aburra Valley, often passed at eye-level during the initial climb.

🛣️

Northern Aburra Valley

Visuals of Bello and Copacabana stretching toward the northern exit of the mountain range.

⛰️

Central Cordillera Ridges

Jagged green mountain ridges and small high-altitude coffee farming settlements.

🌆

Monteria Cityscape

A full view of the 'Pearl of the Sinú' and its modern expansion as the aircraft lines up for landing at Los Garzones.

The right side is essential for the iconic 'Medellin Departure' view. Book a morning flight to avoid the glare of the western sun and to see the mountains in high contrast. Watch for the sudden change from rugged peaks to the flat, expansive cattle ranches of Cordoba about 20 minutes into the flight.

⛰️

San Cristobal Slopes

Dramatic mountain slopes of the Western Cordillera as the plane climbs steeply out of the Aburra Valley.

🌊

Cauca River Canyon

Aerial views of the deep canyons carved by the Cauca River as it flows through the northern Antioquia region.

🌳

Paramillo National Park

Vast stretches of dense tropical rainforest and protected biodiversity near the border of Antioquia and Cordoba.

💧

Sinú River Meanders

The intricate, winding path of the Sinú River as the landscape transitions into the Caribbean lowlands.

Sit on the left for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset lighting up the Paramillo jungle. It is also the better side for observing the intricate water networks and marshes (ciénagas) that characterize the Cordoba department's rural landscape.
