Cordillera Oriental
Breathtaking views of the rugged mountain peaks as the flight climbs from the tropical lowlands into the high Andes.
Páramo de Sumapaz
The world's largest alpine tundra ecosystem, featuring unique 'frailejones' plants and high-altitude glacial lagoons.
Embalse del Muña
A large reservoir visible just south of the Bogotá savanna, signaling the final approach phase.
Bogotá Savanna
The vast, high-altitude plateau where the city is situated, surrounded by a dramatic mountain rim.
Monserrate & Guadalupe
The iconic twin hills with their respective sanctuaries guarding the eastern edge of the capital city.
Sit on the left for the most dramatic terrain changes. Morning flights are highly recommended (7:00 AM - 10:00 AM) to avoid the heavy convective cloud cover that typically forms over the mountains by early afternoon. Keep your camera ready for the Sumapaz lagoons, which look like emerald jewels against the dark moorland.

Caguán River Meanders
Intricate, snake-like river patterns visible immediately after takeoff from San Vicente.
Llanos Orientales
To the east, the horizon stretches infinitely over the tropical grasslands and plains of eastern Colombia.
South Bogotá Urban Sprawl
An impressive view of the dense urban development in districts like Ciudad Bolívar and Usme during the descent.
The right side is best for observing the transition from the Amazon basin to the plains. If the flight is in the late afternoon, the lighting on the plains is spectacular. On arrival, this side provides a clear view of the dense residential areas in the southern part of the city.
