Which side of the plane to sit from El Caraño Airport (Quibdo) to Alfonso Bonilla Aragon International Airport (Cali)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for observing the vast, untouched Chocó rainforest canopy and the dramatic, jagged peaks of the Farallones de Cali as you descend into the Cauca Valley.
Search flights from UIB to CLO
Chocó Rainforest Canopy
Look down at one of the world's most biodiverse primary rainforests, often shrouded in atmospheric mist.
San Juan River
Spot the winding San Juan River, a critical waterway for the region, carving through the emerald landscape.
Farallones de Cali
The most dramatic part of the flight: the high, craggy blue peaks of the National Natural Park near the descent.
Cloud Forest Formations
Observe the unique meteorological phenomenon of clouds being trapped by the high Andean ridges.
The Farallones de Cali are best viewed on the right during the approach to CLO. Morning flights are ideal to see the jungle before tropical clouds build up in the afternoon. Look for the contrast between the dark green mountains and the lighter valley floor during the final 10 minutes of flight.

Atrato River Meanders
Immediately after takeoff, see the massive Atrato River snaking through the dense jungle of Quibdó.
Western Cordillera
Panoramic views of the rugged peaks and deep green creases of the Western Andes mountain range.
Cauca Valley Plantations
The landscape transforms into a geometric patchwork of sugarcane fields as the plane enters the fertile Cauca region.
Cali Suburbs
A clear view of the northern residential extensions of Cali and the industrial zones of Palmira.
Sit on this side for the best lighting during afternoon flights to avoid direct glare. This side is better for observing the transition from wild jungle to organized agriculture. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes after departure for the best mountain ridge shots.
