CCS

When landing at Simon Bolivar International (CCS), sit on the Right side for the best views. Landing on runway 10 means approaching from the west and touching down heading east-southeast, so the steep Cordillera de la Costa (including El Ávila massif) rises close on the right side just before touchdown. It's a dramatic, tight view of terrain that literally separates the coastal strip from Caracas on the other side of the ridge. Notable sights include: Cordillera de la Costa mountain wall, El Ávila peak, coastal plain of Maiquetía, glimpses of the Caribbean coastline curving north of the runway.
