Search flights from PMV to CCS
Isla de Coche
Visible shortly after takeoff from PMV, showcasing white sand beaches and large salt pans.
Araya Peninsula
A striking contrast of ochre and reddish earth against the deep blue of the Caribbean Sea.
Mochima National Park
A stunning archipelago of islands and deep-water bays located between Cumaná and Puerto La Cruz.
Puerto La Cruz Skyline
The dense urban landscape and busy oil terminals of this major port city come into view mid-flight.
Cordillera de la Costa
The massive mountain range that rises sharply from the sea, leading all the way to Caracas.
Book a window seat ahead of the wing for unobstructed views of the Mochima islands. Morning flights (07:00-10:00) provide the best lighting for the coastline without the haze that often develops in the afternoon. Look for the reddish hues of the Araya salt flats roughly 10-15 minutes into the flight.

Macanao Peninsula
The western, more arid half of Margarita Island with its rugged, desert-like terrain.
Isla de Cubagua
The historic site of the first Spanish settlement in Venezuela, surrounded by shallow turquoise waters.
La Tortuga Island
A remote, uninhabited island often visible in the distance, famous for its intense light blue lagoons.
Open Caribbean
Expansive views of the deep ocean horizon, occasionally spotting cargo ships heading for La Guaira.
The right side is ideal for travelers who prefer the vastness of the open sea. While less feature-rich, it offers great views of La Tortuga Island on clear days. During sunset flights, this side will experience direct glare, so high-quality sunglasses are recommended for comfort.
