Which side of the plane to sit from Simón Bolívar International Airport (Caracas) to Del Caribe Santiago Mariño International Airport (Porlamar)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular vantage point of the Venezuelan coastline, the majestic Cordillera de la Costa mountain range, and the stunning archipelagos of Mochima National Park.
El Ávila National Park
The massive mountain range that separates the capital city from the coast, visible immediately after takeoff.
Higuerote & Carenero
View the intricate canals and coastal vacation homes of the Miranda state coastline.
Laguna de Unare
A massive coastal lagoon known for its biodiversity and its narrow strip of land separating it from the sea.
Mochima National Park
Breathtaking views of where the mountains meet the sea, with numerous small islands and deep blue bays near Barcelona.
Puerto La Cruz Skyline
The industrial and residential skyline of one of Eastern Venezuela's most important port cities.
The right side is the definitive choice for geography lovers. Take an afternoon flight to see the sun illuminate the coastal mountains. During the approach to Porlamar, keep your eyes peeled for the transition from the rugged mainland to the pristine waters of the Frailes islands.
Caribbean Expanse
Deep blue views of the Caribbean Sea stretching toward the horizon for the duration of the flight.
Isla La Tortuga
A large, uninhabited island known for its crystalline waters and white sand banks, visible mid-flight.
Cayo Herradura
A famous crescent-shaped key on the northern tip of La Tortuga often visible from high altitudes.
Isla de Coche
The smaller sister island of Margarita, featuring white salt flats and shallow turquoise shores during the final descent.
Sit on the left if you prefer the tranquility of the open ocean. This side is best for morning flights to avoid the harsh tropical sun reflecting off the water. Look specifically for the distinct silhouette of La Tortuga Island about 20 minutes into the flight.
