Meta River Meanders
Watch the intricate oxbow lakes and serpentine curves of the Meta River as it snakes across the plains towards the east.
Eastern Cordillera Wall
A stunning visual as the aircraft climbs from the sea-level plains toward the 2,600-meter high plateau of the Andes.
San Rafael Reservoir
A striking turquoise body of water nestled in the mountains near La Calera, signaling the final approach into Bogotá.
Chingaza National Park
Aerial views of the rugged, mist-covered peaks and high-altitude lagoons of this vital water source for the capital.
Sabana de Bogotá
The flat, fertile plateau surrounding the city, dotted with greenhouses and country clubs, visible just before touchdown.
The right side is ideal for the 'wow' factor when the plane crosses the mountain ridge to enter the Bogotá plateau. For the best photography, choose a seat behind the wing to capture the scale of the mountains. On clear days, look for the white church of Monserrate on the hill just before landing.

Orinoco-Meta Confluence
Immediately after takeoff, witness the massive junction where the Meta River meets the Orinoco on the Venezuela border.
Vichada Savannahs
Expansive views of the 'Llanos Orientales' featuring mosaic patterns of grasslands and gallery forests along winding creeks.
South Bogotá Urban Sprawl
During the final descent, the left side provides a close-up view of the dense urban fabric and the industrial zones of southern Bogotá.
Sumapaz Massif
Views of the distant high-altitude paramo ecosystem of Sumapaz, one of the largest in the world, located south of the capital.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct glare. It is the best side for viewing the confluence of the rivers at Puerto Carreño during the initial climb. During the landing phase, you will get a detailed look at the southern residential districts of the city.
