Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the majestic Orinoco River shortly after takeoff and the stunning turquoise waters of Mochima National Park during the descent into Barcelona.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🚢

Orinoco River

Follow the massive curves of one of South America's longest rivers as it flows toward the delta.

🛢️

Oil Belt Infrastructure

Spot the industrial facilities and flare stacks of the Orinoco Oil Belt during the mid-flight segment.

🏖️

Mochima National Park

Spectacular aerial views of the Caribbean islands and coastal inlets as the plane turns for arrival.

🏝️

Chimana Islands

Distinctive island chains near Barcelona that contrast beautifully against the deep blue sea.

The right side is essential for seeing the Caribbean coast. During the dry season (January to April), the air is clearer for spotting the distant horizon of the Orinoco Delta. Evening flights offer a stunning sunset over the water upon approach to BLA.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🌆

Puerto Ordaz Vista

A clear view of the city's industrial landscape and residential layout immediately after departure.

🌊

Caroní River

Witness the dark, tannin-rich waters of the Caroní before they merge with the brown Orinoco.

🌾

Anzoátegui Plains

Expansive views of the 'Llanos Orientales' featuring vast agricultural plots and flat savannahs.

Sit on the left for a better view of the city center of Puerto Ordaz during takeoff. Best seen during morning flights when the sun is behind the plane, reducing glare on the window.
