Caroní & Orinoco Confluence
Witness the 'meeting of the waters' where the dark Caroní joins the muddy brown Orinoco near Puerto Ordaz.
Industrial Heart of Guayana
Aerial view of the massive SIDOR steel mills and the sprawling industrial zones of Ciudad Guayana.
The Llanos
Vast stretches of the Venezuelan plains, featuring seasonal wetlands and extensive cattle ranches.
Serranía del Interior
The rugged interior mountain range that precedes the final descent toward the Caribbean coast.
El Ávila National Park
A stunning close-up of the green mountain wall that separates the city of Caracas from the sea.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Orinoco riverbanks right after takeoff. For morning flights, this side will be shaded, making photography easier. During the final approach into CCS (Maiquetía), the left side provides an incredible perspective of the coastal mountains rising sharply from the sea.
