Coche and Cubagua
Immediate views of Margarita's sister islands with their pearl-rich history and turquoise shallows.
Morrocoy National Park
The stunning archipelago of keys and coral reefs visible near the Falcón coastline.
Isthmus of Paraguaná
The narrow strip of land connecting the mainland to the windswept peninsula and the Médanos de Coro dunes.
General Urdaneta Bridge
The massive 8.7km concrete bridge spanning the narrows of Lake Maracaibo during the final descent.
Lake Oil Fields
A view of the historic oil extraction platforms dotted across the horizon of the Lake Maracaibo basin.
This side is essential for the approach into Maracaibo. For the best view of the bridge and the Gulf of Venezuela, choose a seat forward of the wing. Late afternoon flights offer spectacular lighting as the sun sets over the Perijá Mountains to the west, reflecting off the lake surface.

Mochima Shoreline
Aerial views of the steep cliffs and hidden coves along the Anzoátegui coastline.
Henri Pittier Peaks
The lush, cloud-forested mountains of the coastal range rising sharply from the sea.
Lake Valencia
A clear view of Venezuela's largest endorheic lake surrounded by urban industrial hubs.
Lara Depressions
Transitioning into the semi-arid landscapes and red earth characteristic of the Barquisimeto region.
Sit behind the wing to capture the contrast between the green mountain ranges and the industrial valleys. Morning flights are ideal as clouds tend to build up over the coastal range by mid-afternoon, obscuring the view of Lake Valencia.
