Which side of the plane to sit from Del Caribe Santiago Mariño International Airport (Porlamar) to Maturín Airport (Maturin)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular view of the unique Araya Peninsula salt flats and the historic coastline of Cumaná before the flight crosses the lush coastal mountain range.
Araya Salt Flats
Stunning geometric pink and white pools where sea salt is harvested, a major landmark of Sucre state.
Cumaná
Aerial view of one of the oldest cities in the Americas, located where the Manzanares River meets the sea.
Cumanacoa Valleys
Beautiful deep valleys nestled within the coastal range as the plane heads inland toward Monagas.
Guarapiche River
The winding river that snakes through the plains and serves as the primary water source for the city of Maturín.
The right side is the best choice for afternoon flights. The low sun highlights the textures of the Araya Peninsula and creates a dramatic contrast on the salt flats. Watch for the sudden change from the arid coast to the humid, green mountains within minutes.
Isla de Coche
View of the turquoise waters and white sand banks of the neighboring island shortly after departure.
Gulf of Cariaco
The deep blue waters of the gulf that separates the Araya Peninsula from the mainland of Sucre.
Serranía del Turimiquire
Dense, green tropical mountain peaks that represent the highest elevations in eastern Venezuela.
Monagas Plains
The vast agricultural landscape and savannas that characterize the approach into Maturín.
Sit on the left for morning flights to enjoy the illuminated green slopes of the Turimiquire mountains without the harsh glare. It also provides the best perspective of Isla de Coche immediately after takeoff from Porlamar.
