Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular front-row seat to the 'Avenue of the Volcanoes' and the highest snow-capped peaks of the Northern Andes, including the massive Cayambe and various active Colombian volcanoes.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
❄️

Cayambe Volcano

A massive snow-capped peak that is the only point on the equator with a permanent ice cap.

🏔️

Antisana & Reventador

Glaciated summits and rugged terrain visible as the flight tracks north-northeast from Quito.

🌋

Galeras Volcano

One of Colombia's most active volcanoes, located near the city of Pasto shortly after crossing the border.

🧊

Puracé Volcano

A striking sulfurous peak in the Central Cordillera near Popayán, often venting volcanic gases.

🌾

Valle del Cauca

The vast, flat agricultural valley filled with sugarcane plantations as the plane descends into Cali.

The right side is unbeatable for sunrise flights as the early light hits the glaciated peaks of the Andes. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff for Cayambe. This side also offers the best chance to see the 'Colombian Massif' where the Andes split into three distinct ranges.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌋

Pichincha Volcano

Visible immediately after takeoff, this massive volcanic complex towers over the city of Quito.

☁️

Chocó Cloud Forests

Dense, mist-covered tropical forests that represent some of the most biodiverse areas on the planet.

🌊

Pacific Horizon

On clear days, the distant glimmer of the Pacific Ocean can be seen beyond the Western Cordillera.

🏙️

Cali Cityscape

Detailed views of the city of Cali and the Pance River area during the southern approach to CLO.

Sit on this side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. It provides a better perspective of the descent into the Cauca Valley, where the Western and Central mountain ranges converge. Watch for the 'Cristo Rey' statue on the hills near Cali during final approach.
