El Ávila National Park
The dramatic mountain range that separates the valley of Caracas from the Caribbean Sea.
Coastal Settlements
Views of towns like Higuerote and Carenero, known for their marinas and holiday homes.
Laguna de Tacarigua
A massive coastal lagoon protected as a national park, visible for its unique bar of sand and mangroves.
Barcelona & Puerto La Cruz
The industrial skyline, oil refineries, and busy ports of the Anzoátegui state coastline.
Gulf of Cariaco
The final approach offers a view of this narrow gulf, framed by the Araya Peninsula to the north and the mainland to the south.
For the best experience, sit on the right side to see the changing landscape from mountains to wetlands. During the mid-morning, the sun is high enough to illuminate the vibrant greens of the coastal vegetation. Watch closely after passing Barcelona as the plane begins its descent into Cumaná over the Turimiquire mountain foothills.

Caribbean Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Caribbean Sea stretching toward the horizon.
La Tortuga Island
Depending on the flight path, you may spot the white sands of this remote, uninhabited island to the north.
Mochima Archipelago
Aerial view of the northernmost cays and crystal-clear waters of the Mochima National Park.
Oceanic Sunrise
On early morning flights, the sun rises over the water, creating stunning reflections on the waves.
The left side is ideal for travelers who prefer the serenity of the open ocean. To avoid the harsh tropical sun during the morning, this side provides cooler light for photography. Look out for small fishing vessels and the distinct color change where the deep sea meets the continental shelf.
