About This Airport
Which side of the plane has the best views landing at Antonio Roldán Betancur Airport (APO)?

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.
