Which side of the plane to sit from José Leonardo Chirinos Airport (Coro) to Simón Bolívar International Airport (Caracas)?
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.
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.
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.
