Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers spectacular views of the Atlantic coastline, the bustling capital of Georgetown, and the massive, island-filled deltas of the Essequibo River.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Atlantic Coastline

The dramatic meeting point of the brown, sediment-rich river waters and the deep blue Atlantic Ocean.

🏢

Georgetown Skyline

A clear view of Guyana's capital city, including the iconic St. George's Cathedral and the seawall.

🏝️

Essequibo River Delta

The massive mouth of the Essequibo River featuring large inhabited islands like Leguan and Wakenaam.

⛰️

Trinidad's Northern Range

The lush, jagged peaks of Trinidad rising sharply from the sea as you approach Piarco.

✈️

Piarco Approach

Excellent views of the Arima valley and the residential sprawl of northern Trinidad during the final descent.

Choose the right side for the most iconic landmarks. The river deltas are massive and best viewed from this side. For the best photography, aim for a morning flight when the sun illuminates the coastline without reflecting directly off the wing or window.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌳

Guiana Shield Rainforest

Dense, uninterrupted tropical canopy stretching deep into the heart of Suriname and Guyana.

🐍

Waini River Meanders

Intricate, snake-like river patterns carving through the lush green marshlands of northwest Guyana.

🇻🇪

Paria Peninsula

On clear days during descent, the rugged mountains of Venezuela's eastern coast are visible across the water.

⚓

Gulf of Paria

The calm waters between Trinidad and Venezuela, often filled with tankers and oil platforms.

🏘️

San Fernando & Central Hills

The rolling landscape of southern Trinidad appearing as the flight turns toward the runway.

Sit on the left if you prefer the deep green textures of the rainforest and want a chance to see the Venezuelan coastline on arrival. For midday flights, this side generally avoids the harshest glare of the sun when flying northwest.
