Bogota to Buenos Aires flight path: BOG to AEP

Sit on the Right side of the plane for the best views on flights from Bogota to Buenos Aires. While the left side offers a nice glimpse of Bogotá's hills at takeoff, the right side wins overall thanks to distant Andean ranges visible during much of the cruise over Peru and Bolivia, plus the strong river-and-skyline approach into Buenos Aires.

During takeoff from Eldorado International (BOG), sit on the Left side for the best views. Departing El Dorado to the southeast, the initial climb keeps Bogotá's Eastern Hills — Cerro de Monserrate and Cerro de Guadalupe — on the left, along with a brief view of the sprawling Bogotá savanna city grid before the turn south. The right side shows only the flatter western edge of the Bogotá plateau. Notable sights include: Cerro de Monserrate, Cerro de Guadalupe, Bogotá savanna, eastern Andean escarpment.

When landing at Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (AEP), sit on the Right side for the best views. On approach to Aeroparque's runway 31, aircraft cross the wide brown expanse of the Río de la Plata before turning inland, putting the Buenos Aires skyline — Puerto Madero's towers, the riverside parks, and the coastline curving toward the city center — on the right side of the cabin during the final turn. Notable sights include: Río de la Plata, Puerto Madero skyline, Costanera Norte, Palermo waterfront.

The flight from Eldorado International (BOG) to Aeroparque Jorge Newbery (AEP) takes about 5 hours 10 minutes. The shortest flight path between them is 2,900 miles (4,667 km); winds and air traffic control usually add a few percent.

Route passes over the eastern Andean foothills of Peru and Bolivia, the Altiplano near the Bolivian border, and the vast lowland plains of the Gran Chaco in Paraguay and northern Argentina before descending toward the Pampas near Buenos Aires.
