LSPCCS

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a continuous panoramic view of the Venezuelan coastline, the unique desert dunes of Coro, and the lush green peaks of the Coastal Range (Cordillera de la Costa) as you approach Caracas.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Cerro Santa Ana

The prominent natural monument on the Paraguaná Peninsula, visible shortly after takeoff from LSP.

🏜️

Médanos de Coro

The striking golden sand dunes of Coro National Park, a rare desert landscape located right at the isthmus.

🌳

Henri Pittier Park

The dense, cloud-forested mountains of Venezuela's oldest national park rising sharply from the coast.

🏙️

Puerto Cabello

A clear view of one of the country's most important industrial port cities and its coastal infrastructure.

🛬

Maiquetía Shoreline

Dramatic final approach where the mountains meet the sea just before touching down at Simón Bolívar International.

This is the 'land side' and provides the most geographic variety. Sit here for the best photography of the dunes and mountains. Morning flights provide excellent lighting on the coastal cliffs, while afternoon flights may experience some silhouette effects due to the sun's position.

Left Side Highlights
6.2
🌊

Caribbean Horizon

Uninterrupted views of the deep turquoise Caribbean Sea stretching towards the northern horizon.

🏝️

Morrocoy Keys

Distant views of the coral keys and islets of Morrocoy National Park peeking out near the coastline.

🚢

Maritime Traffic

Spot commercial vessels and tankers navigating the approach lanes to the major ports of central Venezuela.

The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun. It offers a very peaceful, blue aesthetic. During the final descent into CCS, you will see the vastness of the ocean meeting the Port of La Guaira.
