The right side is superior for the approach into Guayaquil, providing a full view of the city and the Santay Island.

Cordillera de la Costa
Rugged mountains meeting the sea immediately after takeoff from Caracas.
Venezuelan Llanos
The vast, golden plains of central Venezuela stretching toward the horizon.
Eastern Cordillera
Dramatic ridges of the Colombian Andes as the flight moves southwest.
Cotopaxi Volcano
