Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏗️

Haina Port

Aerial view of the Dominican Republic's busiest industrial port and the mouth of the Haina River shortly after departure.

🏔️

Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta

The world's highest coastal mountain range, often visible with snow-capped peaks rising directly from the sea.

🐍

Magdalena River

Watch the winding path of Colombia's principal river as it snakes through the tropical lowlands toward the sea.

🧗

Central Cordillera

Dramatic views of the jagged Andean ridges as the aircraft climbs toward the high plateau of the capital.

☁️

Andean Cloud Forests

As you descend into BOG, see the lush, mist-covered greenery characteristic of the high-altitude Colombian ecosystem.

The right side is the star of the show for spotting the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. Ensure a window seat away from the wing for the best view of the Magdalena River's massive delta and the steep ascent into the Andes. Afternoon flights offer the most dramatic lighting for the mountain terrain.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏝️

Santo Domingo Coastline

Detailed views of the Dominican Republic's southern shores and the Caribbean turquoise waters during takeoff.

🌊

Deep Caribbean Sea

A long stretch over the Caribbean with varying shades of blue, ideal for spotting remote atolls or shipping lanes.

⛰️

Serranía del Perijá

Rugged mountain views along the Colombia-Venezuela border as the flight enters South American airspace.

🏙️

Bogotá Northern Suburbs

On the standard arrival, views of the sprawling urban expansion of northern Bogotá and the high-altitude plateau.

🏢

Monserrate Hill

Depending on the landing pattern, a glimpse of the famous church perched on the mountain overlooking the city.

Choose the left side for early morning departures to avoid the sun's glare. It provides a great perspective of the Sabana de Bogotá during the final descent, often passing close to the eastern hills.
