Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the intricate Vaupés River meanders and the dramatic vertical ascent from the Amazon basin into the rugged Sumapaz Paramo mountains.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🐍

Vaupés River Curves

Witness the extreme serpentine path of the Vaupés River cutting through the dense jungle immediately after takeoff.

🌳

Pristine Amazon Canopy

An endless ocean of deep green rainforest that remains largely untouched by roads or settlements.

⛰️

Sumapaz National Park

View the world's largest 'Paramo' ecosystem, featuring high-altitude lakes and unique alpine tundra vegetation.

💧

Southern Waterfalls

Small, hidden waterfalls cascading down the eastern face of the Andes as the terrain rises sharply.

🏙️

Bogotá Southern Edge

A close-up view of the dense urban expansion climbing the mountainsides in the southern districts of the capital.

Morning flights are highly recommended as the Amazon often generates heavy convective cloud cover by mid-afternoon. The left side is particularly stunning during the final 20 minutes of the flight when crossing the high-altitude moorlands of Sumapaz; look for the distinct 'Frailejones' plants if flying low enough.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🌿

Jungle-Plains Transition

The fascinating geological boundary where the dense Amazon rainforest gives way to the vast Llanos Orientales.

🐄

Llanos Orientales

Expansive tropical grasslands dotted with remote cattle ranches and seasonal floodplains.

🏔️

Eastern Cordillera Wall

A panoramic view of the massive mountain wall of the Andes rising abruptly from the flat plains.

🛶

Guayabero River

Occasional sightings of the river systems that feed into the Orinoco basin.

🪁

Northern Bogotá Savanna

Views of the high-altitude plateau with its patchwork of greenhouses and flower farms before landing.

The right side is ideal for seeing the sheer scale of the Eastern Plains. During the dry season (December-March), you can clearly see the contrast between the drying grasslands and the permanent green of the river galleries. Keep your camera ready for the moment the plane 'hops' over the final mountain ridge into the Bogotá savanna.
