Search flights from NVA to BOG
Tatacoa Desert
Spot the unique ochre and gray geological formations of the desert shortly after departing Neiva.
Sumapaz Paramo
Fly over the high-altitude moorlands of the Eastern Cordillera, often shrouded in a mystical mist.
Bogotá Cityscape
Unrivaled views of the sprawling capital, including the high-rise buildings of the International Center.
Monserrate & Guadalupe
See the iconic church-topped hills that guard the eastern edge of the city during the landing pattern.
The right side is highly recommended for morning flights to see the city illuminated by the sun. It provides the best perspective of the mountains and the urban density of Bogotá. Try to get a seat away from the wing for an unobstructed view of the Tatacoa Desert.

Magdalena River
Watch Colombia's principal river snaking through the tropical valley immediately after takeoff from Neiva.
Nevado del Huila
On clear days, look west to spot the distant snow-capped peaks of the highest volcano in Colombia.
Agricultural Savanna
The lush green patchwork of farms in the Cundinamarca region as the plane levels off before descent.
Sit on the left if you are flying in the late afternoon to catch the sunset over the Central Cordillera. This side is also better for viewing the rural outskirts of Funza and Madrid during the final descent into El Dorado.
