Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers consistent, spectacular views of the Gulf of Mexico coastline, the complex Laguna de Tamiahua, and the vast Laguna Madre, providing more vibrant colors and diverse geographic features.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Gulf of Mexico Coastline

The expansive blue waters of the Gulf meeting the white sandy beaches of the Mexican coast.

🏝️

Laguna de Tamiahua

A massive, shallow coastal lagoon filled with small islands and intricate aquatic patterns shortly after departure.

🚢

Tampico-Altamira Port

The industrial hub where the Pánuco River meets the sea, featuring large ships and maritime infrastructure.

🚤

Laguna Madre

One of the world's largest hypersaline lagoons, stretching for miles with its distinctive barrier islands.

💧

Rio Grande Delta

The lush, meandering river system that marks the international border and the final approach into Reynosa.

Sit here to witness the stunning turquoise colors of the coastal lagoons. Afternoon flights are ideal as the sun is behind the aircraft, reducing glare on the water. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff from Poza Rica for the Tamiahua lagoon.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
⛰️

Sierra Madre Oriental

Distant but impressive views of the rugged mountain range that defines the western horizon of the coastal plain.

🌾

Tamaulipas Agricultural Belt

A patchwork of fertile farming lands and irrigation systems that characterize the northern Mexican interior.

🏙️

Ciudad Victoria Hinterlands

Views of the rural outskirts and foothills surrounding the capital of Tamaulipas.

🏞️

Soto la Marina River

A prominent river system snaking through the semi-arid landscape toward the coast.

Choose this side during morning flights to see the Sierra Madre Oriental fully illuminated by the sun. It is particularly scenic during the rainy season when the Tamaulipas plains turn a vibrant green.
