PTY → MAR

Guna Yala Archipelago

Shortly after takeoff from PTY, witness the hundreds of tiny white-sand San Blas islands scattered in turquoise waters.

Colombian Caribbean Coast

Clear views of the northern coastline of Colombia, including the historical areas around Cartagena and Barranquilla.

Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta

The world highest coastal mountain range, where you can often see snow-capped peaks like Pico Cristóbal Colón against the blue sea.

Guajira Peninsula

The landscape shifts to an arid, desert-like orange terrain as the plane approaches the Venezuelan border.

Gulf of Venezuela

Expansive views of the gulf and the heavy maritime traffic of oil tankers entering the channel to Lake Maracaibo.

Darien Gap

A view of the dense, roadless tropical wilderness that forms the natural border between Panama and Colombia.

Magdalena River Delta

Look for the massive brown sediment plumes where Colombia's largest river meets the Caribbean Sea.

Serranía del Perijá

The rugged mountain range that defines the border between Colombia and Venezuela, visible during the initial descent.

Lake Maracaibo

As the plane turns for the final approach to MAR, you get a sprawling view of the southern part of the largest lake in South America.
