Which side of the plane to sit from Simón Bolívar International Airport (Caracas) to Josefa Camejo International Airport (Paraguana)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a stunning contrast between the lush green mountains of the coastal range and the dramatic transition into the desert landscape of the Coro dunes as you approach the peninsula.
Cordillera de la Costa
Immediately after takeoff, witness the dramatic green peaks of the Coastal Range plunging into the Caribbean.
Henri Pittier National Park
Fly over Venezuela's oldest national park, featuring dense cloud forests and rugged terrain.
Puerto Cabello
Clear views of the historic colonial port city and the naval base infrastructure.
Médanos de Coro
The most spectacular sight: massive shifting sand dunes that mark the entrance to the Isthmus of Médanos.
Paraguaná Scrubland
A unique arid ecosystem filled with cacti and xerophytic vegetation as you descend into LSP.
Choose the left side for the best land-based views. The afternoon sun (flights departing after 2 PM) illuminates the Médanos de Coro beautifully, creating long shadows across the sand. Look for the Cerro Santa Ana rising from the flat peninsula as you prepare for landing.
Central Coastline
Follow the winding shoreline where the deep blue of the Caribbean meets the rocky coast.
Morrocoy National Park
Aerial views of the turquoise waters and white-sand keys, including Cayo Sombrero and Cayo Peraza.
Chichiriviche Lagoons
Bird's-eye view of the coastal lagoons and salt flats, often home to flamingos.
Gulf of Venezuela
The vast horizon of the gulf opening up as the flight moves toward the western tip of the country.
The right side is ideal for ocean lovers. To see the vibrant turquoise colors of Morrocoy's reefs, a morning flight is best when the sun is behind the plane. Keep an eye out for small fishing vessels and cargo ships heading toward the refineries near Punto Fijo.
