Air carrier pilot reported receiving a terrain alert while conducting a visual approach.
Pilot narrative
Verbatim, de-identified by NASA. Placeholders: ZZZ,
X, Y.
ATC set us up on a right downwind for Runway 21 and got cleared for the visual approach abeam the field. The PF adjusted his heading for terrain and flew just outside the FAF of MUSOJ. As we started the turn toward the fix we got a “terrain” aural alert. The approach was at night and we were set up on a right downwind which is right next to the mountain range. We also should have turned toward the approach course sooner. We should have shot the RNAV 21 approach direct to CLBRT since it was at night or we should have set up on a left downwind instead.
