PMV → BRM
Which side of the plane to sit from Del Caribe Santiago Mariño International Airport (Porlamar) to Barquisimeto International Airport (Barquisimeto)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a spectacular combination of deep Caribbean blues and the intricate coastal geography of Venezuela, including the famous Morrocoy keys.
Isla de La Tortuga
Depending on the flight path, you may spot this large, uninhabited island known for its pristine white sand and turquoise waters.
Morrocoy National Park
A stunning mosaic of mangroves and coral keys (Cayos) with visible underwater reefs near Chichiriviche and Tucacas.
Puerto Cabello
One of the country's most important ports, where you can see large cargo ships and the historic San Felipe Fort.
Falcon Arid Zone
As you turn inland toward BRM, the landscape transforms into the characteristic red earth and xerophytic vegetation of the Northwest.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the Caribbean Sea. This side provides the best angle for spotting the coral reefs of Morrocoy; use polarized sunglasses to cut the water reflection for a better view of the turquoise shallows.
Isla de Coche
Visible shortly after takeoff from PMV, offering a clear view of the flat, salt-rich sister island of Margarita.
Henri Pittier National Park
The lush, cloud-forested peaks of the Coastal Range provide a dramatic green wall against the horizon.
Lake Valencia
Venezuela's second-largest lake is often visible as a large silvery expanse nestled between mountain ranges.
Maracay and Valencia
The dense urban sprawl of central Venezuela’s industrial heartland stretches across the valleys below.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh tropical sun glare. Keep an eye out for the transition from the humid coastal greenery to the more arid, cactus-filled landscape of the Lara state as you begin the descent into Barquisimeto.
