Mochima National Park
Aerial view of the stunning turquoise bays and rocky inlets between Cumaná and Barcelona.
Lechería Coastline
The urban development and canals of El Morro in the Barcelona-Puerto La Cruz area.
Unare Lagoon
A large coastal lagoon known for its birdlife and narrow sandbar separating it from the sea.
Cordillera de la Costa
The lush, green mountains of the Coastal Range rising sharply from the shoreline.
Waraira Repano
The iconic Avila Mountain that towers over the approach to Maiquetía airport.
Opt for an early morning flight to catch the sun illuminating the green coastal mountains without the afternoon cloud cover. The left side is essential for seeing the dramatic meeting of the Andes foothills and the Caribbean. Sit slightly behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the lagoons and the final approach near the mountains.

Caribbean Sea
Deep blue expanses of the Caribbean stretching toward the northern horizon.
Tortuga Island
On clear days, the distant silhouette of La Tortuga Island can be spotted to the north.
Coastal Surf
The white foam of the waves breaking against the varied northern beaches of Anzoátegui and Miranda.
Maiquetía Approach
A direct view of the Caribbean coastline just before touchdown at Simón Bolívar International.
The right side is ideal for travelers who prefer the serenity of the open sea and the horizon. It is generally cooler due to less direct sunlight during the westward flight. Keep an eye out for small fishing vessels and the distinct color change in the water near the coast.
