Serranía de la Macarena
Distant views of the ancient rock formations and the beginning of the Amazon basin.
Sumapaz Páramo
The world's largest moorland ecosystem, featuring unique high-altitude vegetation and lagoons.
Andean Ridges
Sharp, dramatic vertical climbs as the aircraft ascends the Eastern Cordillera mountain range.
South Bogotá
A sprawling aerial view of the city's southern neighborhoods nestled against the mountains.
Choose the left side for morning flights to minimize solar glare. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff to catch the transition from jungle to the foothills. As the aircraft enters the Bogota plateau, the left side provides the best view of the misty Sumapaz national park, which is often shrouded in clouds but spectacular when clear.

Guaviare River
A massive, winding brown river snaking through the dense green canopy near the airport.
Llanos Orientales
The endless horizon of the Colombian eastern plains, stretching towards the Venezuelan border.
Piedemonte Llanero
The meeting point where the flat plains abruptly crash into the rising walls of the Andes.
Monserrate and Guadalupe
The iconic twin hills and churches overlooking the Bogota city center during the final approach.
The right side is best for viewing the 'infinity' effect of the Colombian plains. During the descent into El Dorado, if the plane approaches from the north, you will see the financial district and the central business towers. Ensure you look for the white sanctuary of Monserrate on the mountain ridge just before landing.
