Which side of the plane to sit from Del Caribe Santiago Mariño International Airport (Porlamar) to General Manuel Carlos Piar International Airport (Guayana)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic transition from the Caribbean islands to the Turimiquire mountain range, followed by a spectacular aerial perspective of the confluence of the Orinoco and Caroni rivers upon arrival.
Coche & Cubagua
Excellent views of the arid, salt-rich islands of Coche and Cubagua glistening in the turquoise Caribbean.
Turimiquire Range
The rugged peaks and deep green valleys of the coastal mountain chain as the flight crosses into the mainland.
The Meeting of Waters
The distinct boundary where the dark, clear waters of the Caroni River merge with the muddy, sediment-rich Orinoco.
La Llovizna Falls
The powerful waterfalls of the Caroni River and the surrounding urban parks visible just before touchdown at PZO.
Macagua Dam
A massive hydroelectric engineering feat integrated directly into the city landscape of Puerto Ordaz.
This side is essential for seeing the 'Meeting of Waters'—sit in the front or rear of the wing for an unobstructed photo. Morning flights are best as the sun illuminates the mountains and river colors without creating harsh reflections on the window.
Margarita Coastline
Aerial views of the white sands of El Yaque and the southern beaches of Margarita Island shortly after takeoff.
Gulf of Cariaco
The deep blue waters of the gulf separating the Araya Peninsula from the mainland of Sucre state.
Monagas Wetlands
Vast stretches of swampy lowlands and seasonal floodplains characteristic of the northeastern Llanos.
San Felix Port
Industrial views of the heavy shipping docks along the Orinoco riverbanks during the final descent.
Sit on this side during late afternoon flights to avoid the direct western sun. Keep an eye out for the expansive Guanipa Plateau, which showcases the agricultural heart of the region.
