Caribbean Coastline
Breathtaking views of the shoreline immediately after takeoff from Maiquetía, with waves breaking against the coastal cliffs.
Mochima National Park
A stunning archipelago of islands and deep-water bays with vibrant turquoise and emerald hues between Barcelona and Cumaná.
Araya Peninsula
View the unique, sun-drenched landscapes and salt flats of the Araya Peninsula extending into the sea.
Isla de Margarita
On clear days, the silhouette of Venezuela's largest island is clearly visible on the northern horizon during the cruise phase.
Gulf of Cariaco
The narrow, deep gulf that separates the Araya Peninsula from the mainland mountain ranges.
Book a window seat on the left for the best ocean vistas. Morning flights (between 7:00 AM and 9:30 AM) are ideal as the sun is behind you, illuminating the coastline without glare. During the dry season (Jan–May), the air is clearest, offering views all the way to Margarita Island.

The right side is best for those interested in the mountainous geography of central Venezuela. Be aware that afternoon flights often encounter 'calima' (seasonal haze) or heavy convective clouds over the mountains, which can obscure the view during the rainy season (June–November).
