Araya Peninsula
Vibrant salt pans and deep blue coastal lagoons are visible along the arid northern coast of mainland Venezuela.
Angostura Crossing
Aerial view of the massive Orinoco River, one of the longest in South America, typically crossed near Ciudad Bolivar.
Amazon Rainforest
An uninterrupted, vast carpet of deep green canopy stretching for hundreds of miles as you enter Brazilian airspace.
Manaus Skyline
Views of the industrial hub of the Amazon and the impressive Rio Negro Bridge during the final descent into MAO.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct solar glare. Watch for the dramatic change in terrain from the dry northern coast to the dense, humid jungle. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for the river systems.

Isla de Coche
A stunning view of the turquoise waters and white sand beaches of this smaller island just south of Margarita during takeoff.
Orinoco Delta
The eastern horizon reveals the complex network of waterways and mangroves where the Orinoco River meets the Atlantic Ocean.
Guiana Highlands
Distant views of the prehistoric tabletop mountains or tepuis that dominate the southeastern Venezuelan landscape.
Meeting of the Waters
Depending on the approach pattern, you may see the dark Rio Negro and pale Solimões River flowing side by side without mixing.
Sit toward the front or rear to avoid the wing blocking the view of the Orinoco Delta. This side is particularly scenic if the flight path takes an easterly corridor over the Bolivar state.
