Search flights from SJU to MAZ
Old San Juan
A magnificent aerial view of Castillo San Felipe del Morro and the colorful colonial walled city.
Atlantic Coastline
Follow the miles of white sand beaches and turquoise waters along the northern shore.
Arecibo Lighthouse
Spot the historic lighthouse perched on the rocky cliffs of Punta Morrillos.
Isabela Cliffs
Witness the dramatic shoreline where the Atlantic waves crash against limestone cliffs near Jobos Beach.
Aguadilla Bay
As the plane turns south, see the crystal-clear waters of Crash Boat Beach and the western coast.
The right side is the priority for first-time flyers. To see Old San Juan, be ready immediately after takeoff from SJU. Mid-morning flights are best as the sun is high enough to illuminate the coral reefs along the shore without causing heavy glare on the windows.

San Juan Metro Area
View the sprawling urban landscape of Cataño and Bayamón shortly after takeoff.
Cordillera Central
The lush, green peaks of Puerto Rico's central mountain range dominate the southern horizon.
Northern Karst Region
Observe the unique 'mogotes'—steep limestone hills that create a bumpy, emerald landscape.
Lake Dos Bocas
A glimpse of the deep blue mountain reservoirs nestled within the tropical forest.
Sit on the left if you prefer looking at the island's rugged interior. During late afternoon flights, the sun sets to the west, casting dramatic shadows over the mountain ridges and highlighting the texture of the karst hills.
