GEOPZO

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft provides an unparalleled view of the Atlantic coastline transitioning into the massive, intricate maze of the Orinoco Delta, followed by the industrial heart of the Orinoco River.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏖️

Atlantic Coastline

The coastline of Guyana and Venezuela, where sediment-rich waters meet the Atlantic Ocean.

🌿

Orinoco Delta

One of the world's largest deltas, featuring an incredible labyrinth of mangroves and waterways.

🚢

Orinoco Main Channel

The deep-water channel used by iron ore tankers, winding through the dense tropical landscape.

🏭

Sidor Steel Complex

Massive industrial facilities on the outskirts of Ciudad Guayana that signify the approach to PZO.

🌉

Orinoquia Bridge

The majestic second bridge over the Orinoco River, a major landmark during the descent.

The Orinoco Delta is the star attraction; sit on the right for the best views of its countless 'caños' (channels). In the late afternoon, the sun will be behind you, providing perfect lighting for photography of the delta and the industrial skyline of Puerto Ordaz.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🇬🇾

Demerara Estuary

Aerial views of Georgetown's unique colonial layout and the massive Demerara Harbour Bridge.

🌊

Essequibo River

A crossing of the massive Essequibo River, showcasing its many forested islands like Hogg Island.

🌲

Guyanese Interior

Vast expanses of primary tropical rainforest stretching toward the Pakaraima Mountains in the south.

⛰️

Guayana Shield

Ancient rock formations and undulating hills of the shield as the flight enters Venezuelan airspace.

💧

Caroní River

Deep, tea-colored 'blackwater' of the Caroní River visible just before the final approach into PZO.

Morning flights are ideal for the left side to avoid the harsh tropical sun glare. Keep a lookout for the 'black water' effect of the Caroní River, which creates a sharp contrast where it meets the muddier Orinoco. This side is better for seeing the density of the inland rainforest.
