The left side offers a superior scenic experience, particularly during the approach into Cartagena. While both sides see the lush Andean terrain initially, the left side provides stunning vistas of the Caribbean coastline, the Barú peninsula, and the turquoise waters surrounding the Islas del Rosario as the aircraft descends towards the coast.
The right side is generally superior for this route as it offers sweeping views of the Central Cordillera of the Andes upon departure, clearer views of the Caribbean islands like Jamaica and Cuba, and the iconic panorama of the Miami shoreline and downtown skyscrapers during the approach to MIA.
