Pico Bolívar
The highest peak in Venezuela, often snow-capped, visible within the first 10-15 minutes of flight.
The Llanos
Vast, winding rivers and endless plains characterizing the heart of the Venezuelan interior.
Cordillera de la Costa
The dramatic mountain range that separates the capital city from the sea, visible as you bypass Caracas.
Isla de Coche
Stunning views of the salt flats and white beaches of Coche Island just minutes before landing.
Cubagua Island
The historic site of New Cadiz and turquoise waters visible during the final approach to PMV.
The right side is the definitive choice for mountain lovers. For the best views of the Sierra de Mérida, book a morning flight when the peaks are less likely to be obscured by clouds. On the approach to Porlamar, the descent usually circles over Coche, providing a postcard-perfect view of the island's turquoise shoreline.

Lake Maracaibo
Catch views of the southeastern shores of South America's largest lake during the initial climb.
Falcón Coastline
Distant views of the arid coastal landscapes and the beginning of the Coro dunes region.
Morrocoy National Park
A glimpse of the turquoise waters and coral keys off the coast of Falcón state.
Puerto Cabello

Sit on the left if you prefer coastal views and want to avoid the direct southern sun glare during morning flights. Keep an eye out for the distinct transition from the green foothills of the Andes to the drier coastal plains of western Venezuela.
