Search flights from IPI to BOG
Nevado del Huila
The highest volcano in Colombia, offering spectacular snow-capped views above the clouds.
Puracé National Park
Aerial views of volcanic craters and the rugged wilderness of the Central Andes.
Cauca River Basin
Lush, deep green valleys situated between the western and central mountain ranges.
Paramo Landscapes
High-altitude wetland ecosystems visible during the initial climb out of Ipiales.
For the best visibility of the volcanoes, choose a morning flight before the tropical clouds build up in the afternoon. Ensure your window is clean, as the contrast between the white snow and the dark volcanic rock is a prime photo opportunity. The Nevado del Huila usually appears on the left roughly 35 minutes after takeoff.

Tatacoa Desert
The striking red and ochre colors of Colombia's second largest arid zone visible in the distance.
Magdalena River
The winding path of Colombia's principal river as it carves through the Andean valley.
Eastern Cordillera
The massive mountain wall that hosts the high-altitude plateau of Bogota.
Sabana de Bogotá
The vast, high-altitude savanna with patchwork agriculture seen during the final descent.
The right side is ideal for seeing the changing terrain from the arid Magdalena valley to the green plateau of Bogota. During the approach to El Dorado, the right side often provides a clearer view of the southern urban density and the mountains flanking the city. Watch for the dramatic shift in landscape as the plane crosses the final ridge into the Bogota savanna.
