Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a continuous panorama of the Venezuelan Coastal Range and the dramatic intersection where the mountains meet the Caribbean, culminating in views of the smaller islands near Margarita.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
⛰️

Henri Pittier National Park

Lush, cloud-forested mountains of the Cordillera de la Costa that rise sharply from the coastline.

⚓

Puerto Cabello Coast

Immediate views of the historic San Felipe Fort and the bustling container terminal upon departure.

✈️

Maiquetía & La Guaira

A high-altitude view of Venezuela's main international gateway and the steep slopes above the port city.

🏖️

Cabo Codera

The prominent cape where the mountains finally recede, revealing beautiful hidden coves and beaches.

🏜️

Islands of Coche & Cubagua

Stunning aerial views of these arid, flat islands with their pinkish salt flats during the descent into Porlamar.

This side is highly recommended for the best geographic diversity. Morning flights provide the most vibrant greens in the mountains. During the descent, the right side almost always gets a direct view of Coche Island's famous salt pans and turquoise shoreline before landing at PMV.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🌊

Caribbean Expanse

Uninterrupted views of the deep turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea stretching toward the horizon.

🏝️

Isla La Tortuga

On clear days, look for the white sand outlines of this uninhabited island, famous for its pristine ecosystem.

🚤

Coastal Shallows

Vibrant patterns of sandbars and coral reefs visible through the clear water as you approach the island of Margarita.

🌤️

Sea Cloud Formations

Unique tropical cloud patterns that often form over the open water due to the trade winds.

Sit on this side if you prefer a glare-free view during the morning hours. Keep an eye out for the distinct color change in the water near the shoals of La Tortuga and the Los Frailes archipelago in the distance.
