Canaima Lagoon
Immediate view of the iconic lagoon and its powerful waterfalls (Hacha and Sapo) right after takeoff.
Auyán-tepui
Glimpse the massive flat-top mountain, the source of Angel Falls, rising majestically from the jungle floor.
Carrao River
Aerial perspective of the winding black-water river snaking through the dense tropical rainforest.
Guri Reservoir
Pass over the western section of one of the world's largest man-made lakes, formed by the Guri Dam.
Caruachi Dam
A clear view of the massive hydroelectric infrastructure harnessing the power of the Caroní River.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Canaima falls during the initial climb. Flights scheduled between 10:00 AM and 1:00 PM offer the most direct lighting into the canyons and tepui walls. Ensure your camera is ready for the first 10 minutes of flight as the most iconic scenery appears early.

Gran Sabana
Expansive views of the unique tropical grasslands and ancient geological formations of the Guiana Shield.
Caroní River
Follow the dark, tannin-rich waters of the Caroní as it flows northward toward the Orinoco.
Guri Islands
Look down at thousands of tiny islands created by the tops of flooded hills within the Guri Reservoir.
Macagua Dam
View the hydroelectric complex situated right within the city limits of Ciudad Guayana during final approach.
Confluence
On descent, see the striking 'meeting of the waters' where the dark Caroní joins the muddy Orinoco River.
The right side is ideal for capturing the scale of the hydroelectric projects. During the dry season (January to April), the islands in the Guri Reservoir are more prominent. On approach to PZO, look for the sharp color line where the two major rivers meet near the city.
