Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of Venezuela's urban heartland, the massive Lake Valencia, and the dramatic interior peaks of the Coastal Range.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Caracas Valley

Aerial perspective of the capital's dense urban sprawl tucked between the mountains.

🏔️

Cordillera de la Costa

Dramatic views of the rugged green mountain range that separates the coast from the interior.

🌊

Lake Valencia

A clear view of Venezuela's second largest lake and its surrounding agricultural valleys.

🏢

Valencia Skyline

The industrial and residential skyline of one of Venezuela's most important commercial hubs.

🌵

Lara Interior

The landscape shifts into the characteristic semi-arid hills as you approach Barquisimeto.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh northern sun glare. Watch for the massive expanse of Lake Valencia about 15-20 minutes after takeoff. This side provides the best perspective of the contrast between the high mountains and the developed valleys of the central region.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏖️

Litoral Central

The narrow coastal strip where the mountains meet the Caribbean Sea immediately after takeoff.

🌳

Henri Pittier Park

Views of the oldest national park in Venezuela, known for its incredible biodiversity and cloud forests.

⚓

Puerto Cabello

The historic port city with its colonial architecture and industrial shipping docks.

🌊

Caribbean Horizon

Expansive views of the deep blue Caribbean Sea stretching toward the horizon.

🏜️

Barquisimeto Aridity

Observation of the distinct change to dry, desert-like vegetation and red earth typical of the Lara state.

Choose the right side for coastal views and a glimpse of the Caribbean. It is particularly beautiful during late afternoon flights as the sun begins to set over the sea. Keep an eye out for the turquoise waters near the coast of Falcón state in the distance as the plane begins its descent.
