Which side of the plane to sit from Alfredo Vásquez Cobo International Airport (Leticia) to La Pedrera Airport (La Pedrera)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides the most dramatic views of the Amazon's vast river systems, including the initial departure over the Amazon River and the final approach over the wide, tan-colored waters of the Caquetá River.
The Amazon River
Immediate views of the world's largest river system shortly after departing Leticia.
Triple Frontier
The geographical convergence of Colombia, Brazil, and Peru, marked by the shifting river banks.
Putumayo Meanders
Glimpses of the winding Putumayo River, which acts as a natural border for much of the southern region.
Serranía de la Pedrera
Ancient rock formations and hills that rise abruptly from the flat jungle floor near the destination.
Caquetá River Junction
The dramatic silt-heavy waters of the Caquetá River dominate the view during the descent into La Pedrera.
Sit on the right for the best orientation relative to the Brazilian border. Morning flights are recommended to avoid the frequent afternoon thunderstorms that can obscure the ground. Watch the water color transition from the dark Amazon waters to the sediment-rich Caquetá.
Uninterrupted Canopy
A sea of deep emerald green as the plane traverses the heart of the pristine Colombian Amazon.
Cloud Forests
Low-hanging morning mist and towering convective clouds common in this high-humidity equatorial region.
Hidden Tributaries
Small, black-water streams winding through the dense undergrowth, often invisible from the ground.
Indigenous Clearings
Isolated malocas and small agricultural patches belonging to local communities deep within the jungle.
Choose a window seat mid-cabin or forward to avoid engine heat distortion. The left side is particularly scenic during the golden hour of a late afternoon flight when the low sun casts long shadows over the uneven jungle floor.
