Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the Paraguaná Peninsula's unique desert topography upon departure and the iconic colorful skyline of Willemstad and the southern coast of Curaçao during the approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏜️

Paraguaná Desert

The arid, wind-swept landscape of the peninsula, featuring salt flats and xerophytic vegetation.

⛰️

Cerro Santa Ana

The highest point on the peninsula, this iconic mountain rises sharply from the surrounding flat plains.

🏙️

Willemstad Skyline

On the final approach, look for the vibrant Handelskade waterfront and the Queen Emma Bridge in the distance.

🏗️

Isla Refinery

View the massive industrial complex surrounding the Schottegat natural harbor as the plane descends.

🏖️

Curaçao South Coast

Glimpse the turquoise bays and white sand beaches like Jan Thiel and Mambo Beach shortly before touchdown.

This is the 'money' side for this short hop. For the best photography of Willemstad's famous pastel buildings, book a mid-afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the southern coast of Curaçao. Keep your camera ready as the flight is very short (under 30 minutes).

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Caribbean Sea Expanse

Deep turquoise waters dominate the view as you cross the short channel between Venezuela and the ABC Islands.

🏝️

Western Coastline

Aerial views of the rugged western tip of the Paraguaná Peninsula immediately after takeoff.

🚢

Maritime Traffic

Spot large oil tankers and cargo ships navigating the busy shipping lanes toward the Gulf of Venezuela.

⛰️

Northern Curaçao Cliffs

As the plane aligns for landing at Hato, view the dramatic limestone cliffs and crashing waves of the island's windward side.

Sit toward the front to avoid wing obstruction. This side is better for avoiding direct sunlight during morning flights from LSP to CUR, allowing for clearer photos of the deep blue Caribbean horizon.
