Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the unique geography of the Paraguaná Peninsula and the iconic sand dunes of Falcón state before descending into the arid valleys of Lara.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Christoffelberg Peak

View of Curaçao's highest point and the rugged, arid terrain of Christoffel National Park as the plane heads south.

🏜️

Paraguaná Peninsula

The distinct, hammerhead-shaped peninsula of Venezuela, featuring the prominent Cerro Santa Ana rising from the flat plains.

⏳

Médanos de Coro

The massive, shifting sand dunes of Coro, visible as a bright gold patch against the blue coastal waters.

🏭

Amuay Refinery

One of the world's largest industrial refinery complexes visible on the western edge of the Paraguaná coast.

🌵

Lara Dry Forests

The transition into the semi-arid, cactus-filled landscapes of Lara State during the final descent into Barquisimeto.

The right side is essential for seeing the Paraguaná Peninsula, a major landmark on this route. Request a window seat away from the wing to clearly see the Médanos de Coro. For afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side, so high-quality sunglasses are recommended for spotting the bright sand dunes.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏘️

Willemstad Skyline

Aerial view of the iconic Handelskade and the colorful Dutch colonial architecture of the Punda district immediately after takeoff.

🌊

Spanish Water Bay

The intricate lagoons and yacht-filled basins of Jan Thiel and Spanish Water as the aircraft climbs over the island's southeastern coast.

⛰️

Serranía de San Luis

The lush, green peaks of the Falcón mountain range, often shrouded in light clouds, contrasting with the coastal plains.

🌾

Turbio River Valley

The fertile agricultural floodplains of the Turbio River leading into the urban landscape of Barquisimeto.

Sit on the left for the best view of Willemstad's city center during departure. This flight is extremely short (approx. 40 minutes), so keep your camera ready from the moment the wheels retract. Morning flights are ideal to avoid the glare of the eastern sun reflecting off the Caribbean Sea.
