Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

While the left side offers glimpses of the Caribbean islands, the right side provides a breathtaking front-row seat to the Venezuelan Coastal Range (Cordillera de la Costa), where massive green mountains plunge directly into the sea.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
⛰️

Sierra de San Luis

Rugged, high-altitude terrain in Falcón state providing a dramatic backdrop during the initial climb.

🦜

Henri Pittier National Park

Fly past the dense, lush cloud forests of the oldest national park in Venezuela, often shrouded in mist.

🧗

Coastal Cliffs

Spectacular views of steep mountain walls that separate the interior valleys from the Caribbean Sea.

🏔️

Waraira Repano (El Ávila)

The iconic mountain range looming over the destination airport, signifying the approach into the Caracas valley area.

The right side is the 'photographer's side' for this route. Afternoon flights are particularly scenic as the sun illuminates the north-facing slopes of the mountains. Try to sit behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the dramatic vertical views of the coastline.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏜️

Médanos de Coro

Massive sand dunes of the isthmus visible to the north shortly after takeoff from Coro.

🏝️

Morrocoy National Park

The crystal-clear turquoise waters and white-sand cays like Cayo Sombrero are visible along the coastline.

🌊

Golfo Triste

A wide-angle view of the deep blue Caribbean horizon as the aircraft tracks the shoreline.

⚓

Puerto Cabello Port

The major naval base and historic fortresses are clearly visible near the midpoint of the flight.

For the best experience on the left, aim for a morning flight (around 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM) to see the vibrant blues and greens of the Morrocoy cays without the harsh glare of the midday sun. It is also the side with the most consistent view of the ocean horizon.
