Puerto Ordaz Industrial Zone
Aerial view of the massive steel and aluminum plants near the confluence of the Orinoco and Caroni rivers.
Guri Reservoir
The vast expanse of one of the world's largest man-made lakes, featuring submerged forest islands.
Sierra de Lema
A dense, emerald-green mountain range that marks the transition from lowland jungle to the high plateau.
Mount Roraima
The 'Triple Point' tepui where Venezuela, Brazil, and Guyana meet, visible as a massive flat-topped fortress.
Gran Sabana Grasslands
The ancient landscape of rolling hills and isolated Moriche palms stretching toward the Brazilian border.
Choose the left side for the best chance to see the iconic Tepuis (tabletop mountains). Morning flights (07:00 - 09:00) are highly recommended because the clouds usually begin to shroud the Tepui summits by 11:00 AM. Keep your camera ready as you approach Santa Elena for the classic 'Lost World' skyline.

Guri Dam (Simon Bolivar)
A spectacular view of the massive hydroelectric dam and its white-water spillways shortly after takeoff.
Caroni River Meanders
Watch the dark 'blackwater' Caroni River winding through the dense jungle canopy like a giant snake.
Canaima National Park
Distant views of the western Tepui chains, including the massive Chimanta Massif in the interior of the park.
Auyan-Tepui
On very clear days, the distant silhouette of the plateau that hosts Angel Falls can be spotted to the west.
Santa Elena Approach
Aerial views of the town's red-roofed houses and the international border crossing with Brazil.
The right side provides the best view of the Guri Dam structure and the dramatic spillways. It is also excellent for seeing the deep interior of Canaima National Park. If flying in the late afternoon, this side receives the golden 'golden hour' light, which highlights the unique texture of the savanna landscape.
