Views of the turquoise shallows and coral keys along the northern coast including Cayo Coco and Cayo Guillermo.
Varadero Peninsula
The iconic thin strip of the Hicacos Peninsula, showcasing 20 kilometers of white sand and luxury resorts.
Yumurí Valley
The deep green canyon and the Bacunayagua Bridge, Cuba's highest, visible near the city of Matanzas.
Havana Bay & Forts
On clear days during eastern arrivals, see the Morro-Cabaña fortress complex and the entrance to Havana's harbor.

Colonial Camagüey
Aerial view of the maze-like streets and terracotta rooftops of the UNESCO-listed historic center of Camagüey upon takeoff.
Escambray Mountains
The rugged peaks of the central mountain range rise in the distance to the south as you pass Sancti Spíritus.
Zapata Wetlands
The dark, dense green expanse of the Ciénaga de Zapata, the Caribbean's largest and best-preserved wetland.
Southern Havana Suburbs
View of the expanding urban sprawl and agricultural belts of Mayabeque province approaching José Martí International.
Sit here during morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun which remains to the south. This side provides a better perspective of Cuba's interior agriculture and the Sierra del Escambray if the visibility is high.
