General Rafael Urdaneta Bridge
A stunning view of the iconic 8.7km bridge crossing Lake Maracaibo immediately after takeoff.
Médanos de Coro
The massive golden sand dunes of Falcón state where the desert meets the sea.

A pristine uninhabited island known for its vibrant turquoise rings and sandbanks.
Coastal Mountain Range
The silhouette of the Cordillera de la Costa rising sharply from the central shoreline.
La Restinga Lagoon

The right side is the 'scenic side' for this route. Sit here during morning flights for the best lighting on the coast. Watch for the Lake Maracaibo bridge within the first 5 minutes of takeoff. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes into the flight for the Médanos de Coro, and look for the turquoise waters of Tortuga Island mid-way through the journey.
