Surgidero de Batabanó
The historic port town serving as the maritime gateway to the southern islands.
Coral Reef Patterns
Clear views of the underwater limestone formations and sandbars visible through crystal-clear depths.
Cayo Rosario
A large, pristine wilderness key frequently passed during the descent into Cayo Largo.
Playa Sirena & Paraíso
World-famous stretches of sugar-white sand visible just minutes before touchdown.
Cayo Largo Marina
Final approach views of the yacht docks and the narrow channel leading to the airport.
This is the 'money side' for photographers. Aim for a seat behind the wing to capture the gradient of the water. During the descent, the plane often banks, providing a perfect angle to see the curved western tip of the island where the best beaches are located.
