Which side of the plane to sit from Los Colonizadores Airport (Saravena) to Gustavo Vargas Airport (Tame)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers spectacular views of the Eastern Cordillera of the Andes and the dramatic transition from the mountains to the flat plains.
Search flights from RVE to TME
Sierra Nevada del Cocuy
On exceptionally clear days, the distant snow-capped peaks of the high Andes can be seen to the southwest.
Andean Foothills
The 'Piedemonte Llanero' where the lush, green slopes of the mountains rise abruptly from the flat plains.
Cloud Forests
Dense, high-altitude tropical forests that cling to the steep edges of the cordillera.
The Great Divide
A striking visual line showing the geological transition between the mountains and the lowland basin.
Sit on the right side and book a morning flight to avoid the clouds that typically build up over the mountains by midday. Use a high shutter speed for photos, as the low-altitude flight path provides excellent detail of the rugged mountain terrain and deep valleys.

Llanos Savanna
The vast, seemingly endless expanse of the Colombian eastern plains stretching towards the horizon.
Traditional Hatos
Large-scale cattle ranches with distinctive patterns of trails and fences typical of the Arauca department.
Arauca River Basin
View the winding tributaries and wetlands that feed the major river systems of the region.
Energy Infrastructure
Occasional glimpses of oil exploration sites and pipelines that characterize the local economy.
This side is best during the wet season (April to November) when the plains turn a vibrant emerald green and the water reflections from flooded savannas are most visible. It provides the best perspective on the massive scale of the Llanero culture and ranching territory.
