Which side of the plane to sit from Barquisimeto International Airport (Barquisimeto) to Hato International Airport (Willemstad)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of Venezuela's diverse geography, featuring the unique Médanos de Coro sand dunes and the colorful capital of Curaçao on the approach.
Valle del Turbio
The lush green agricultural valley that provides a stark contrast to the city of Barquisimeto.
Sierra de San Luis
Mist-covered mountain ranges in Falcón state that rise sharply from the surrounding plains.
Médanos de Coro
The massive, shifting sand dunes of the Médanos de Coro National Park, a rare desert landscape.
Historic Coro
Views of the UNESCO World Heritage colonial architecture of Coro near the Isthmus of Médanos.
Willemstad Harbor
Iconic views of the colorful Dutch colonial buildings and the Queen Emma Bridge during the final approach.
The right side is essential for seeing the sand dunes, which are the geographic highlight of this route. For the best photography of Willemstad's colorful waterfront, a morning flight is recommended to have the sun behind the aircraft.
Barquisimeto West
Aerial views of the northern residential and industrial zones of Lara state's capital.
Falcón Arid Lands
The transition from the scrublands of the interior to the arid coastal plains of western Falcón.
Paraguaná Peninsula
Distances views of the western edge of the peninsula where the Gulf of Venezuela meets the Caribbean.
Caribbean Horizon
Expansive turquoise ocean views as the aircraft leaves the Venezuelan mainland.
North Curaçao Shoreline
The rugged limestone cliffs and wave-battered northern coast of the island upon descent.
Sit on the left if you prefer afternoon flights to avoid the harsh tropical sun glare from the west. This side provides a great perspective of the deep blue Caribbean waters, though it misses some of the key land-based landmarks.
