Barcelona City Center
Excellent views of the urban grid and the Neverí River winding through the city shortly after takeoff.
Orinoquia Bridge
The modern second bridge over the Orinoco River, an engineering marvel connecting Anzoátegui and Bolívar.
Meeting of the Waters
The distinct line where the blackwater Caroní River joins the sediment-rich Orinoco River near the airport.
La Llovizna Park
The lush green islands and powerful rapids of the Caroní River visible during the final seconds of the descent.
Puerto Ordaz Port
Views of the large iron ore ships being loaded at the river ports along the Orinoco banks.
The right side is essential for seeing the Orinoco-Caroní confluence. For the best photography, choose a seat behind the wing to capture the river's color contrast against the aircraft. Late afternoon flights offer golden hour lighting over the river, though the sun will be on this side.

Barcelona Coastline
Aerial views of the Caribbean coast and the northern urban sprawl of Barcelona upon departure.
Mesa de Guanipa
The vast, flat agricultural and oil-producing plateaus of central Anzoátegui.
Distant Orinoco Delta
On clear days, the hazy horizon to the east reveals the start of the massive river delta system.
Sidor Industrial Complex
The massive steel and heavy industry plants of Matanzas visible during the descent into Puerto Ordaz.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct western sun. This side is better for observing the industrial scale of the Guayana region's steel and aluminum plants during the final approach phase.
