Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a front-row seat to the winding Putumayo River and the lush border regions with Ecuador.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🐍

Putumayo Meanders

Witness the dramatic curves and oxbow lakes of the river that defines the border.

🇪🇨

Ecuadorian Frontier

Gaze into the dense, untouched wilderness of the Cuyabeno region to the south.

💧

Oxbow Lakes

Spot ancient riverbeds that have formed isolated lagoons deep in the jungle.

🌅

Sun Glint

Morning flights offer spectacular reflections off the water's surface.

Choose the left side for morning departures to avoid the direct glare while seeing the river mist. This side is superior for tracking the international border. Best views are usually found when the plane is cruising at lower altitudes common for this short hop.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
⚓

Puerto Leguízamo

Excellent views of the riverside town and its significant naval presence upon takeoff.

🌳

Amazonian Canopy

An uninterrupted view of the world's most biodiverse tropical rainforest.

☁️

Cloud Architecture

Observe massive tropical cloud formations that frequently build over the hot jungle floor.

🏙️

Puerto Asís Approach

View the growing urban footprint of the region's main commercial hub during descent.

The right side is ideal for seeing the departure over the town. Keep your camera ready for the first 5 minutes and the last 10 minutes of the flight. Polarized sunglasses will help cut through the jungle haze to see the vibrant greens below.
