Which side of the plane to sit from General Manuel Carlos Piar International Airport (Guayana) to Cheddi Jagan International Airport (Georgetown)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a more dramatic view of the ancient Guiana Shield landscapes, including the dark waters of the Caroní River and the vast, untouched rainforests of the Guyanese interior.
Caroní River Confluence
Witness the 'meeting of the waters' where the black Caroní joins the brown Orinoco near PZO.
Guiana Shield Highlands
Ancient, rugged rock formations and hilly terrain that represent some of the oldest geological layers on Earth.
Amazonian Canopy
An endless, unbroken carpet of deep green rainforest stretching toward the southern horizon.
Essequibo River Meanders
Views of Guyana's largest river as it winds through the thick jungle, appearing like a giant silver snake.
Guri Dam Reservoir
In the distance shortly after takeoff, you can often see the massive expanse of the Guri reservoir.
The right side is superior for geological enthusiasts. For the best photography, choose a mid-morning flight when the sun is high enough to illuminate the jungle floor but not directly in your window. Keep an eye out for small mining outposts scattered in the Guyanese interior.
Orinoco Delta
A glimpse of the massive network of distributaries where the Orinoco River meets the Atlantic.
Puerto Ordaz Industrial Zone
Aerial view of the massive iron and aluminum plants that drive the regional economy shortly after takeoff.
Atlantic Coastline
The transition from the muddy brown river silt to the deep blue of the Atlantic Ocean as you approach Guyana.
Georgetown Suburbs
The low-lying coastal plains and drainage canals characteristic of the Guyanese capital's outskirts.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct sun. This side is best for seeing the transition from the river systems to the coast. Look for the distinct 'sediment plumes' where the rivers discharge into the ocean near the end of the flight.
