Which side of the plane to sit from German Olano Airport (Puerto Carreno) to Vanguardia Airport (Villavicencio)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Orinoco River at takeoff and a dramatic perspective of the Andes mountains rising sharply from the plains as you approach Villavicencio.

Orinoco Confluence
Witness the massive meeting point of the Meta and Orinoco rivers near the border with Venezuela.
Infinite Savanna
Experience the 'sea of grass' effect with an unobstructed view across the Casanare department.
The Andean Wall
The dramatic transition as the flat Llanos suddenly meet the vertical rise of the Cordillera Oriental.
Villavicencio Approach
Excellent views of the 'Gateway to the Plains' city tucked into the mountain foothills upon descent.
The right side is essential for the departure out of Puerto Carreno to see the Venezuelan border. For the best photography of the Andes approach, fly in the early morning when the air is clearest before the afternoon clouds build over the mountains.
Book Hotels in Villavicencio
The Meta River
Observe the winding path of the Meta River, one of the most important waterways in the Llanos region.
Traditional Hatos
View massive cattle ranches known as Hatos, characteristic of the Colombian plains culture.
Gallery Forests
Dense ribbons of green trees that grow strictly along the banks of the winding savanna rivers.
Seasonal Wetlands
During the wet season (May-Oct), see the vast esteros or flooded savannas that reflect the sky.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights and to better track the southern stretch of the Meta River. Keep an eye out for the distinct 'morichales' (palm groves) that dot the landscape.
