Margarita Southern Coast
Immediate views of Playa El Yaque and the intricate mangrove systems of Laguna de la Restinga during climb-out.
Araya Peninsula
A striking view of the reddish terrain and the historic salt flats of Araya on the mainland coast.
Barcelona & Puerto La Cruz
The dense urban development of northern Anzoátegui, including the Mochima National Park islands nearby.
Cordillera de la Costa
The massive coastal mountain range that parallels the flight path, offering views of peaks reaching over 2,000 meters.
Henri Pittier National Park
Densely forested slopes and cloud forests that represent the first national park established in Venezuela.
Sit on the left for the most diverse landscape views. On early morning flights, the sun will be behind you, providing excellent lighting for photos of the mountains. Look for the urban sprawl of Caracas tucked behind the first ridge of mountains about two-thirds into the journey.

Cubagua & Coche Islands
Clear views of the smaller sister islands of Margarita, surrounded by vibrant turquoise waters.
Isla La Tortuga
A bird's-eye view of the second largest island in Venezuela, known for its pristine white sands and uninhabited status.
Caribbean Horizon
Uninterrupted vistas of the deep blue Caribbean Sea and the potential to spot cargo ships heading to Puerto Cabello.
Puerto Cabello Harbor
Detailed views of the industrial port, the container terminals, and the historic Fortín Solano during the final approach.
The right side is ideal for those who prefer maritime vistas and island spotting. It is generally less prone to glare during afternoon flights. Keep your eyes peeled for the coral reefs surrounding La Tortuga mid-flight, which appear as bright neon blue patches in the dark ocean.
