Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the Caroní River's dark waters and the spectacular urban waterfalls of Puerto Ordaz during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Coastal Cordillera

Direct views of the rugged peaks and deep green valleys of the central mountain range.

🚜

Agricultural Heartland

Geometric patterns of large-scale farming operations across the central states of Guárico and Anzoátegui.

🌊

The River Meeting

The dramatic 'Meeting of the Waters' where the muddy Orinoco meets the blackwater Caroní.

🌉

Orinoquia Bridge

The impressive second bridge over the Orinoco River is often visible during the descent.

💦

Llovizna Falls

Spectacular views of the powerful waterfalls located right in the heart of Puerto Ordaz just before touchdown.

The right side is essential for the iconic Guayana landscape. As you approach PZO, watch for the striking color contrast between the brown Orinoco and the tea-colored Caroní. Afternoon flights provide excellent lighting for photographing the waterfalls near the airport.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Caribbean Horizon

Panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea immediately after takeoff from the coastal runway.

⛰️

Waraira Repano

The northern face of the Avila mountain range as the plane climbs and turns inland.

🏙️

Caracas Valley

A distant view of the eastern metropolitan area of the capital city nestled in the mountains.

🌾

Eastern Llanos

Vast stretches of the Venezuelan plains, showing seasonal lagoons and cattle ranches.

💧

Orinoco Delta

In the distance, the beginning of the massive river delta system can be seen toward the horizon.

Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side is best for spotting the early transition from the coast to the inner plains. Look for the massive sediment plumes where smaller rivers join the Orinoco during the descent.
