Sierra Nevada de Mérida
Unrivaled views of Pico Bolívar and Pico Espejo, the highest points in Venezuela, often capped with snow.
The Llanos
The sprawling, flat plains of the interior, characterized by seasonal flooding and vast cattle ranches.
Lake Valencia
A large endorheic lake surrounded by the industrial hubs of Valencia and Maracay.
Henri Pittier Park
The first national park in Venezuela, showcasing dense, cloud-forested mountain ridges.
Cordillera de la Costa
The dramatic mountain wall that separates the valley of Caracas from the Caribbean Sea.
The Right Side is essential for mountain lovers; the peaks of the Andes are best seen in the first 20 minutes of flight. Sit behind the wing to ensure your view of the Sierra Nevada is not obstructed. During the descent, watch for the lush greenery of the coastal range meeting the urban sprawl of the central valleys.

Views of the arid northwestern coastline as the plane maneuvers toward the central region.
Port of La Guaira
