Cordillera de la Costa
Dense, cloud-covered mountain ranges running parallel to the central coastline immediately after departure.
Lake Valencia
Clear views of Venezuela's second largest lake and its surrounding agricultural valleys in the Aragua state.
Barquisimeto Horizon
The sprawling urban landscape of the 'Twilight City' visible as the flight crosses into the Lara state.
Andean Foothills
Dramatic rising terrain and deep valleys as the aircraft begins its approach into the Trujillo mountains.
Choose the left side for the best mountain panoramas. Morning flights are highly recommended to avoid the convective cloud cover that typically obscures the Andes by early afternoon. Look for the distinct change from the green coastal vegetation to the brown, arid landscapes of Lara before the final mountain ascent.

Caribbean Coastline
Stunning vistas of the turquoise waters and white sand beaches along the Aragua and Carabobo coasts.
Henri Pittier National Park
Ancient cloud forests and steep slopes that drop directly into the Caribbean Sea.
Golfo de Triste
A wide, scenic bay featuring coastal wetlands and the famous keys of Morrocoy visible in the far distance.
Lara-Falcón Xeric Scrub
The unique semi-arid landscape characterized by cacti and thorny bushes typical of north-western Venezuela.
The right side is superior for coastal photography during the first 15-20 minutes of flight. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff from CCS to capture the interaction between the jungle and the sea. The dry season (January-April) offers the clearest maritime horizons and the least turbulence.
