Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular view of the Andean peaks during departure and a breathtaking perspective of the coral reefs and Johnny Cay when landing in San Andres.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🌋

Los Nevados

Immediately after takeoff, witness the snow-capped peaks of Nevado del Ruiz and Nevado del Santa Isabel to the east.

🏙️

Medellín Surroundings

The flight path often passes east of the Aburrá Valley, offering glimpses of the Antioquian highlands.

🪸

The Barrier Reef

Observe one of the world's largest coral reef systems as the plane descends into the archipelago.

🏝️

Johnny Cay

Get a perfect aerial view of the iconic palm-fringed islet just off the coast of San Andres before touchdown.

🎨

Sea of Seven Colors

Experience the incredible gradients of turquoise and sapphire water that give the region its famous nickname.

The right side is essential for seeing the volcanoes at departure and the iconic 'Sea of Seven Colors' upon arrival. Choose a seat forward of the wing for unobstructed views of the reefs. Morning flights provide the best lighting for the Andean peaks, while midday flights highlight the vibrant turquoise of the island's waters.

⛰️

Western Cordillera

As you climb out of Pereira, view the rugged peaks of the Cordillera Occidental framing the horizon.

🌊

Gulf of Urabá

Watch the transition from dense jungle to the deep blue waters of the Caribbean near the Panamanian border.

🏝️

San Andres West Coast

During the final approach, see the rugged limestone cliffs and the famous 'West Point' of the island.

🚤

El Cove

Spot the deep-water bay on the western side of the island where large ships frequently anchor.

Sit on the left for better views of the Darien Gap's dense wilderness during the mid-flight transition. Try to book a morning flight to avoid the afternoon glare from the sun reflecting off the Caribbean Sea.
