Departing southeast on runway 15, the Serranía de Abibe mountain range runs along the eastern edge of the Urabá valley, putting those forested ridgelines on the left side of the aircraft during climb-out. The right side mostly shows the flat banana-plantation valley floor with less distinct scenery. Notable sights include: Serranía de Abibe mountain range, Urabá valley banana and plantain plantations, Carepa/Chigorodó river valley, forested foothills.

When landing at Antonio Roldán Betancur Airport (APO), sit on the Left side for the best views. Landing on runway 15 means flying southeast, so the left side faces east toward the Serranía de Abibe mountain range that rises close to Carepa's banana-growing lowlands. The right side just shows the flat plantation grid stretching toward the distant Gulf of Urabá, which is far less dramatic than the nearby ridge on the left. Notable sights include: Serranía de Abibe mountain ridge, Atrato lowland banana plantations, Carepa town and river channels, distant Gulf of Urabá coastline.
