Miami Skyline
Unobstructed views of Brickell, South Beach, and the Port of Miami during the initial climb.

Where the dense Darién Gap jungle meets the Caribbean Sea at the Colombian border.

The massive, winding artery of Colombia snaking through the tropical valley below.
Central Cordillera
Spectacular views of high-altitude Andean peaks, often poking through the cloud layer.
Sabana de Bogotá
The emerald-green high plateau and agricultural lands just before touchdown at El Dorado.
Sit on the right for the best morning light on the Andes. During the descent into Bogota (BOG), the right side often sees the 'Paramo' ecosystems. Ensure your window is clear, as the high-altitude light at 8,600ft in Bogota makes for incredibly sharp, vibrant photos of the landscape.
