Cayo Guillermo
Look for the famous Playa Pilar, featuring some of the highest sand dunes in the Caribbean.
El Pedraplén
The massive stone causeway connecting Cayo Santa María to the mainland, appearing like a needle across the water.
Coral Reef Systems
Vibrant emerald and neon blue patches indicating the extensive barrier reefs that protect the northern coast.
Varadero Beach
A breathtaking 20km stretch of white sand and multi-hued blue water as the plane aligns for landing.
This is the premier side for this route. Aim for a morning flight to have the sun behind you for the best photography of the turquoise waters. Ensure you are behind the wing for an unobstructed view of the Hicacos Peninsula during the descent.

Laguna de Leche
Cuba's largest natural fresh water lake, named for its milky appearance caused by limestone deposits.
Bahía de Buenavista
A UNESCO Biosphere Reserve featuring dense mangrove forests and vital coastal wetlands.
City of Cárdenas
Known as the 'City of Crabs,' you can see the dense grid-like urban layout just south of the Hicacos Peninsula.
Sit on the left if you prefer viewing the rural mainland and the transition from coastal swamps to sugar cane fields. Afternoon flights are better for the left side to avoid direct sunlight and see the landscape illuminated.
