Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the massive oil refinery complexes and the urban sprawl of Punto Fijo upon arrival, alongside the western coastline of Curaçao during departure.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏖️

Westpunt Coast

The rugged western tip of Curaçao with its secluded limestone coves and turquoise lagoons.

🚢

Amuay Refinery

One of the largest refinery complexes in the world, featuring an immense network of pipes and tanks.

🏙️

Punto Fijo

The urban center of the peninsula, showing the industrial heart of the region's economy.

⚓

Cardón Industrial Area

Massive shipping terminals and tankers anchored in the Gulf of Venezuela.

The right side is exceptional for late afternoon or evening flights; the refinery lights at night look like a shimmering city. On clear days, you can see the vastness of the Gulf of Venezuela stretching toward the Maracaibo Basin.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Willemstad Skyline

Aerial view of the iconic Handelskade and the Queen Emma Bridge immediately after takeoff.

🌊

Caribbean Blue

The deep azure waters separating the ABC islands from the South American mainland.

🏜️

Isthmus of Médanos

The narrow sandy strip connecting the Paraguaná Peninsula to mainland Venezuela.

⛰️

Cerro Santa Ana

The highest point on the peninsula, providing a stark contrast to the surrounding flat plains.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. This side is better for spotting the natural landscape of the peninsula and the sand dunes of Coro in the distance to the south.
