Which side of the plane to sit from General Manuel Carlos Piar International Airport (Guayana) to Del Caribe Santiago Mariño International Airport (Porlamar)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Orinoco Delta's edge during departure and a breathtaking approach over the islands of Coche and Cubagua before landing in Porlamar.
San Félix Waterfront
A bird's-eye view of the older, historic side of Ciudad Guayana and its bustling river ports.
Orinoco Delta Fringe
Aerial views of the winding river branches and dense tropical forests marking the start of the delta.
Coche Island
Crystal clear views of the white sand beaches and turquoise waters of San Pedro de Coche during descent.
Cubagua Island
The site of Nueva Cádiz, the first city founded by Spaniards in South America, visible from the air.
Playa El Yaque
A low-altitude view of the famous windsurfing and kitesurfing beach just before touching down at PMV.
The right side is essential for the scenic arrival into Margarita. Sit here for the best views of the smaller islands (Coche and Cubagua) which the flight path usually circles. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for photography of the turquoise Caribbean waters.
Orinoco-Caroní Confluence
Witness the striking visual phenomenon where the black waters of the Caroní meet the brown Orinoco River.
Sidor Industrial Complex
A massive view of one of the largest steel plants in Latin America located in the Matanzas area.
Mesa de Guanipa
The vast, flat eastern plains of Venezuela characterized by savanna vegetation and oil extraction sites.
Mochima National Park
Distant but clear views of the mountainous coastline and deep blue bays of the Anzoátegui state.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh tropical sun glare. Look down immediately after takeoff to spot the distinct color line in the Orinoco River. During the descent, you may catch a glimpse of the Araya Peninsula's salt flats in the distance.
