Which side of the plane to sit from Jorge Newbery Airpark (Buenos Aires) to Aviador C. Campos Airport (San Martin Des Andes)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most iconic views of the flight, specifically the snow-capped Lanín Volcano and the dramatic transition from the Patagonian steppe to the Andes mountains during the final approach.
Search flights from AEP to CPC
Neuquén Steppe
A striking contrast of red earth, plateaus, and desert scrubland that signals the entry into Patagonia.
Colorado River
A thin blue ribbon of water that serves as a natural border between the Pampa and the desert.
Lanín Volcano
The highlight of the trip: a massive, symmetrical snow-capped volcano that dominates the horizon near San Martín.
Lake Lácar
Glacial waters surrounded by lush Valdivian forests visible during the final banking maneuvers into CPC.
The right side is the 'volcano side.' Request a seat well ahead of or behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of Lanín. During the winter months (June-August), the snow coverage on the mountains is breathtaking. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting for photography as the sun illuminates the western peaks.

Buenos Aires Skyline
Aerial view of the city's sprawling neighborhoods, parks, and the Obelisco shortly after takeoff from AEP.
Rio de la Plata
The massive, silty brown estuary that separates Argentina and Uruguay, visible during the initial climb.
The Humid Pampas
Vast stretches of fertile agricultural land and cattle ranches characterized by green and gold geometric patterns.
Limay River Canyons
The deep blue river carving through the arid landscape as you enter the Neuquén province.
Sit on the left if you want the best view of the Buenos Aires urban grid at departure. For the descent, the left side provides a broader view of the northern reaches of the Nahuel Huapi National Park. Morning flights are ideal for this side as the sun will be behind you, providing clear visibility of the landscape.
