Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a breathtaking perspective of the San Andrés archipelago and the famous 'Sea of Seven Colors' during the final approach, along with better views of the Antioquian mountains during takeoff.

Central Cordillera
The dramatic, lush green peaks of the Colombian Andes immediately after departing Rio Negro.
Paramillo Massif
Views of the high-altitude cloud forests near the northern tip of the Western Cordillera.
Johnny Cay
A bird's-eye view of the small, palm-covered islet just north of San Andrés island during the descent.
Sea of Seven Colors
Incredible gradients of turquoise and navy blue water caused by the extensive coral reef system.
Book a window seat on the left (usually 'A' seats) for the iconic approach view. Morning flights (between 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM) are ideal because the sun is behind the aircraft, illuminating the vibrant turquoise lagoons without causing glare on the window.

Medellín Valley
Depending on takeoff direction, a distant view of the Aburrá Valley and the dense urban sprawl.
Cauca River
The winding brown waters of the Cauca River as it carves through the Antioquian landscape.
San Andrés Town
A close-up view of the dense urban center and the commercial port of the island upon landing.
The right side ('F' seats) is excellent for seeing the geography of the mainland before the flight crosses over the Caribbean Sea. It also offers a detailed view of the island's urban structure and the Spratt Bight beach area if the plane approaches from the south.
