Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers a spectacular panoramic view of the northern South American coastline, including the San Blas islands, the high peaks of Colombia, and the rugged Venezuelan coast.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏝️

Guna Yala Archipelago

Immediately after takeoff from Panama, witness the stunning San Blas islands with their turquoise waters and white sand.

🏔️

Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta

The world's highest coastal mountain range in Colombia, often visible as snow-capped peaks rising from the sea.

🚤

Lake Maracaibo

Aerial views of the narrow strait and the massive inlet that defines the landscape of western Venezuela.

⛰️

Cordillera de la Costa

The dramatic central mountain range of Venezuela that runs parallel to the Caribbean shoreline.

🛶

Gulf of Paria

As you approach Trinidad, see the sediment-rich waters and the distant Venezuelan mainland to the south.

The right side is the definitive choice for geography lovers. For the best visibility of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, choose a morning flight when the air is clearest and peaks are less likely to be obscured by afternoon cloud build-up. Be aware that the sun will be on this side during morning eastbound flights, so keep your window shade ready.

Left Side Highlights
5.2
🌊

Caribbean Horizon

Vast, unobstructed views of the deep blue Caribbean Sea stretching toward the Greater Antilles.

🏝️

Aruba & Curaçao

On clear days and depending on the specific flight corridor, you may spot the ABC islands far to the north.

⛰️

Trinidad Northern Range

Dramatic views of the lush, rainforest-covered mountains that line the northern coast of Trinidad during descent.

Sit on the left if you want to avoid the direct tropical sun during morning flights. The descent into POS from the north provides an excellent look at the rugged coastline and the 'Bocas del Dragón' islands.
