Which side of the plane to sit from Vanguardia Airport (Villavicencio) to Obando Airport (Puerto Inírida)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior vantage point for the transition from the high plains to the deep jungle, including the iconic Cerros de Mavecure monoliths and the complex winding of the Guaviare and Inirida rivers.

Cerros de Mavecure
These three ancient granite monoliths (Pajarito, Mono, and Mavecure) are often visible protruding from the jungle floor during the descent.
Guaviare River Meanders
Spectacular oxbow lakes and serpentine curves of the massive Guaviare river system.
Rainforest Canopy
Watch the dramatic shift from open grasslands to the dense, multi-layered canopy of the Amazon-Orinoco transition zone.
Blackwater Rivers
High contrast views of the Inirida River's dark, tannin-rich waters snaking through the vibrant green forest.
This is the 'scenic' side. For the best views of the Cerros de Mavecure, try to book a morning flight when the air is clearest. Keep your camera ready during the last 15 minutes of the flight as the plane descends over the jungle canopy toward Obando Airport.

Meta River Basin
Expansive views of the meandering Meta river and the vast floodplains of the eastern Llanos.
Llanero Ranches
A bird's eye view of the traditional 'hatos' or massive cattle ranches that define the region's culture.
Vichada Horizons
Uninterrupted views of the remote Vichada department where the savanna meets the sky.
Sit here if traveling in the afternoon to avoid the harsh southern sun. It offers a great perspective on the sheer scale of the Colombian savanna and the organized patterns of early-stage agricultural development near Villavicencio.
