TME → BOG
Which side of the plane to sit from Gustavo Vargas Airport (Tame) to El Dorado International Airport (Bogota)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a dramatic perspective of the transition from the vast Orinoquía plains to the rugged Andean peaks, plus a better chance of viewing the Bogotá skyline during the final descent.
The Llanos Horizon
Infinite vistas of the flooded savannas and cattle ranches surrounding Tame shortly after takeoff.
Andean Foothills
The abrupt wall where the Eastern Cordillera rises from the flat plains of the Casanare region.
Laguna de Tota
Glancing views of the high-altitude sapphire-blue lake nestled deep within the Boyacá mountains.
Bogotá Metropolis
A sweeping view of the densely packed capital city and its iconic red-brick architecture upon arrival.
For the best experience, choose a window seat on the left for morning flights to see the sun rising over the plains. The approach into BOG often passes over the northern city limits, making the left side ideal for spotting landmarks like Monserrate.
Rugged Ridges
Close-up views of the sharp, folded terrain of the Cordillera Oriental's interior peaks.
Boyacá Patchwork
The intricate quilt-like patterns of high-altitude agricultural plots in varying shades of green.
Zipaquirá Plateau
The industrial and rural landscape of the northern savanna, home to the famous salt mines.
El Dorado Perimeter
Views of the extensive runway systems and technical hangars as the plane touches down.
Select the right side if flying in the late afternoon to avoid the direct glare of the setting sun. This side offers better views of the rural Altiplano Cundiboyacense and the dramatic canyons carved into the western side of the mountains.
