Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

While the left side offers ocean views, the right side provides a superior perspective of the Buenos Aires urban sprawl on takeoff and the fascinating transition into the rugged Patagonian 'mesetas' (plateaus) and oil fields.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Buenos Aires Skyline

An unbeatable view of the Casa Rosada, Obelisco, and the dense urban grid immediately after takeoff.

🌾

The Humid Pampas

Vast, fertile green plains that make up the agricultural heartland of Argentina, dotted with estancias.

🏜️

Patagonian Steppe

A stark landscape shift into arid, brown plateaus and canyons as the aircraft heads further south.

⛽

Comodoro Oil Fields

The landscape becomes dotted with thousands of pumpjacks, highlighting the region's status as Argentina's oil capital.

⛰️

Cerro Chenque

The iconic flat-topped hill that looms over the city of Comodoro Rivadavia, seen during the final landing bank.

Sit on the right for the best afternoon lighting, which emphasizes the textures of the Patagonian desert. This side is essential for seeing the urban scale of Buenos Aires on departure. During the descent, look for the 'mesetas'—the characteristic step-like plateaus that define the southern landscape. At night, the oil fields provide a unique constellation of lights on the ground.

🌊

Río de la Plata

The world's widest estuary, appearing as a vast brown expanse immediately upon departure from AEP.

🏖️

Atlantic Coastline

Glances of the popular seaside resorts of Buenos Aires province, including the distant sprawl of Mar del Plata.

🐋

Península Valdés

A UNESCO World Heritage site known for its unique mushroom shape and incredible marine biodiversity, visible mid-flight.

🛳️

San Jorge Gulf

The deep blue waters of the South Atlantic as the plane descends toward the port city of Comodoro Rivadavia.

🗿

Coastal Cliffs

The dramatic vertical drops where the Patagonian land meets the sea, visible during the final approach.

Sit here during morning flights to witness a stunning sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean. This side is also your best bet for identifying the distinct geography of Península Valdés, though you'll need clear weather. Keep your eyes peeled for whale activity in the water if flying between June and December.
