PZO → BLA
Which side of the plane to sit from General Manuel Carlos Piar International Airport (Guayana) to General José Antonio Anzoategui International Airport (Barcelona)?
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.
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.
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.
