Which side of the plane to sit from Vanguardia Airport (Villavicencio) to German Olano Airport (Puerto Carreno)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most dynamic views as the flight mirrors the meandering course of the Meta River, providing a constant display of oxbow lakes, sandbars, and the eventual grand confluence with the Orinoco River at the Venezuelan border.

Villavicencio Skyline
Aerial view of the 'Gateway to the Plains' and the Guatiquía River immediately after takeoff from VVC.
Andean Foothills
A final look at the dramatic eastern edge of the Cordillera Oriental as the plane levels out over the plains.
Meta River Meanders
Continuous views of the Meta River's complex loops and 'madreviejas' (oxbow lakes) reflecting the sky.
River Settlements
Small river outposts like Orocué and Santa Rosalía appearing as tiny clusters of life along the water's edge.
The Orinoco Confluence
The spectacular meeting point where the Meta River flows into the massive Orinoco, marking the border with Venezuela.
Sit on the left (Window A) for the best chance to see the Meta River's intricate patterns. Early morning flights provide the best lighting, as the sun rising in the east reflects off the water surfaces. During the wet season (May-Oct), the floodplains transform into a massive inland sea, which is best captured from this side.

Infinite Llanos
Breathtaking views of the vast, uninterrupted grasslands stretching south toward the Amazon basin.
Gallery Forests
Distinct lines of dense green vegetation following the paths of smaller savanna creeks and streams.
Hato Landscapes
Massive cattle ranches (hatos) visible as geometric patterns carved into the wild savanna.
Southern Horizon
Clear views of the remote Vichada department, one of the least populated and most pristine areas of Colombia.
Choose the right side if you prefer the minimalist beauty of the endless savanna. This side is particularly stunning during afternoon flights when the sun is behind the plane, saturating the greens and yellows of the plains. Keep an eye out for the distinct 'morichales' (palm groves) that dot the landscape in cluster patterns.
