Search flights from MUN to CCS
Mochima National Park
Spectacular views of deep blue bays, white sand beaches, and the rugged islands scattered along the coast.
Gulf of Cariaco
The deep inlet of the Caribbean Sea framed by the Araya Peninsula to the north.
Puerto La Cruz Bay
View the busy shipping lanes, oil terminals, and the beautiful Pozuelos Bay coastline.
Higuerote Coastline
The popular vacation beaches of Miranda state as the plane begins its descent toward the capital.
El Ávila National Park
The massive mountain wall that separates Caracas from the sea, visible just before touchdown.
The right side is essential for seeing the Caribbean Sea. Morning flights offer the best lighting for photography of the turquoise waters. During descent into Maiquetía, keep your camera ready for the dramatic coastline where the mountains meet the sea.

Monagas Savanna
Expansive views of the flat eastern plains and agricultural lands immediately after takeoff from Maturín.
Serranía del Interior
The rugged southern peaks of the coastal mountain range providing a stark contrast to the plains.
Barcelona Urban Sprawl
Aerial perspective of the industrial and residential outskirts of the Anzoátegui state capital.
Caracas Valley Glimpse
On the final approach, look for the narrow valley of Caracas tucked behind the coastal mountains.
Sit toward the front to avoid wing obstruction of the mountain ranges. This side is better during the late afternoon to avoid the direct glare of the sun as you fly westward.
