Our Recommendation
8.5

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.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌳

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.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

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.
