Search flights from PDA to BOG
Cerros de Mavecure
Ancient black granite monoliths rising dramatically from the jungle floor shortly after takeoff.
Inírida River Meanders
Hypnotic, dark-water serpentine curves cutting through the dense green canopy of the Amazon-Orinoco transition.
Guaviare River Crossing
A massive waterway that serves as the natural border between the jungle and the vast Llanos plains.
Sumapaz Paramo
The world's largest alpine tundra ecosystem, visible as the plane ascends the Eastern Cordillera.
Southern Bogota
A dense urban tapestry unfolding against the backdrop of the emerald green Tunjuelo Valley.
Book a morning flight to catch the sun illuminating the Cerros de Mavecure from the east. Sit behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the river's complex oxbow lakes. During the rainy season (May-August), the clouds often build up in the afternoon, making early departures essential for visibility.

Estrella Fluvial del Sur
The spectacular confluence of the Inírida, Guaviare, and Atabapo rivers near the Orinoco.
Llanos Orientales
Endless horizons of tropical grassland and cattle ranches stretching toward the horizon.
Eastern Cordillera Ascent
The dramatic visual shift as the flat plains abruptly meet the steep, cloud-forested slopes of the Andes.
Chingaza National Park
Rugged mountainous terrain and high-altitude lagoons that supply most of Bogota's water.
Sabana de Bogota
The high plateau's checkerboard of flower greenhouses and dairy farms just before touchdown.
The right side is excellent for seeing the 'Star of the South' river confluence immediately after takeoff if the plane departs to the north. Keep your camera ready for the 'cliff effect' where the plains hit the mountains. Polarized sunglasses will help reduce the glare from the many wetlands and rivers below.
