Puerto La Cruz Skyline
The dense urban sprawl and marina complexes of the mainland receding shortly after takeoff.
Isla de Coche
Spectacular views of white sand beaches, turquoise shallows, and the distinctive pinkish salt flats.
Isla de Cubagua
Look for the turquoise coastline surrounding the site of Nueva Cádiz, the first city founded by Europeans in South America.
Laguna de la Restinga
An intricate network of mangrove canals connecting the two halves of Margarita Island visible during the descent.
This is a very short flight (approx. 20-30 mins), so stay alert immediately after takeoff. Sit on the right for the best views of the islands of Coche and Cubagua, which are the jewels of this route. Morning flights are ideal to avoid the afternoon haze over the sea.

Mochima National Park
Aerial views of deep blue bays and the steep coastal mountains of the Cordillera de la Costa.
Islas Chimanas
A chain of small, rugged islands known for crystal clear waters and coral reefs visible from low altitude.
Península de Macanao
The wild, arid western wing of Margarita Island featuring red earth and desert vegetation.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to capture the gradient of the Caribbean blue. The sun is usually to the south, so the left side has more consistent lighting for photography during midday flights.
