Eastern Cordillera Peaks
Dramatic views of the rugged Andean terrain as the plane ascends from the Amazonian foothills.
Sumapaz National Park
Bird's-eye view of one of the world's largest paramo ecosystems, often shrouded in mystical mist.
Bogota City Center
On the final approach, see the high-rise buildings of the International Center and the dense urban sprawl.
La Regadera Dam
A glimpse of the reservoirs that supply water to the southern part of the capital city.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Andes. Morning flights are highly recommended (before 10:00 AM) to avoid the typical afternoon cloud buildup over the mountains which can obscure the Paramo. Look for the distinct change in vegetation from tropical jungle to high-altitude shrubs.

Amazonian Basin Edge
Stunning views of the dense tropical canopy transitioning into the plains near Florencia.
Ortega River Meanders
Intricate winding river patterns visible shortly after takeoff from Gustavo Artunduaga Airport.
Sabana Greenhouses
Massive clusters of plastic-covered greenhouses used for Colombia's world-famous flower exports.
Monserrate & Guadalupe
The iconic hills and sanctuaries overlooking Bogota are visible just before touchdown.
The right side is excellent for seeing the transition from the jungle to the high-altitude plateau. Keep your camera ready during the final 5 minutes of the flight to capture the massive flower plantations and the eastern hills of Bogota. If flying in the late afternoon, the sun will be behind you, providing better lighting for photos.
