Another less popular location is the top of the hill behind the airport. You will need at least a 300mm lense to photograph from here and only widebody aircraft give you good results from this location as it is far away from the airport. Even so, this location does offer you a very nice view of the entire airport so very nice airport overview photos can be taken from here. The disadvantage is that it is not always safe here I was told. It is also a bit messy so when walking up the hill you will have to walk over the garbage unfortunately. A good thing about this location however, is the aircraft fly right over your head before arrival. See a photo below: | |||

You can recognize this location by the Aerodrome located on the same hill. When you drive up the hill coming from the Mirador, you will you are at the right spot when you see the Aerodrome building. | |||

As mentioned above, you must have at least a 300mm lense from this location to get nice shots of widebody aircraft taking off or arriving. | |||
