  Cali
Tulua is a VOR navigation fix located 34 miles north, and is the IAF (initial approach fix) or beginning point for the VOR-DME approach to R19.
The proper pilot response should have been: "Roger, descend to 15,000 and report Tulua." As it was, a direct routing to Cali would have the flight passing left (east) of Tulua VOR, and closer to the higher mountains to the east.
A few miles past Tulua and exactly five minutes before fatal impact, the second element of the sucker-trap was laid when Cali Approach suggested that since the surface wind was calm perhaps the captain would prefer landing straight-in on R19, thus shortening his flight path.

 Chapter 3: HOW THE PLANES CRASH? Part 2
Examining this conversation, American Airlines would argue that, if the pilots intended to bypass Tulua and fly direct to Rozo, their repeated efforts to locate the Tulua VOR are difficult to understand.
However, the court (abandoning, at this point, its prior claim that the pilots intended to fly to Tulua and basically ignoring the pilots' words and actions) would hold that a hypothesis about the pilots' intent to fly to Tulua would be largely incompatible with what was actually said and done in the cockpit.
Later on, examining this conversation, the court would note that it was implausible to suggest that, at this point, the pilots still had a reasonable basis to believe the aircraft was on course.

The controller said that, in a non-radar environment, it was unusual for a pilot to request to fly from his or her present position to the arrival transition.
The evidence suggests several explanations for this deficiency in the flightcrew's situational awareness: Cali was not on the "hit list" [26] of South American airports The guidance given in the AA referenced guide and in training did not have sufficient impact to be recalled in a time of high stress and workload.
Perhaps had more time been available the flightcrew would have been under less pressure and could have recognized earlier that the airplane had turned away from Cali and was continuing to descend and could also have referred to their Cali area navigation charts to help determine their position.
