AEP → IGR
Which side of the plane to sit from Jorge Newbery Airpark (Buenos Aires) to Cataratas Del Iguazú International Airport (Iguazu Falls)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides an unparalleled view of the Buenos Aires skyline and the iconic Obelisco immediately after takeoff, followed by the best potential angle for spotting the Iguazu Falls mist during the descent into IGR.
Buenos Aires Skyline
Panoramic views of downtown Buenos Aires, Retiro, and the coastal skyscrapers shortly after rotation.
Río de la Plata
The massive, silt-heavy estuary stretching toward the Uruguayan coast.
Paraná Delta
A bird's-eye view of the intricate network of islands and channels where the river meets the sea.
Misiones Rainforest
The transition from agricultural plains to the deep emerald canopy of the Atlantic Forest.
Iguazu Falls Mist
Depending on the landing pattern, you can often see the 'Devil's Throat' spray rising above the jungle.
Book a window seat in front of the wing for the best views of the BA skyline. For the falls, keep your eyes peeled about 5-10 minutes before landing; the mist is usually visible even if the plane doesn't fly directly over the cataracts. Morning flights (7-9 AM) offer the crispest light without the afternoon haze.
Port of Buenos Aires
View of the shipping containers and large vessels docked at the city's main industrial hub.
Paraná River System
Follow the winding main artery of the river as it snakes through the Argentine Mesopotamia.
Entre Ríos Farmland
Vast green and gold rectangles of soy and corn fields typical of the Litoral region.
Red Soil Transition
The striking change in earth color to deep iron-rich red as the aircraft enters Misiones.
Inland Horizons
Expansive views of the sunset over the Argentine interior on late afternoon departures.
The right side is ideal for photographers interested in the geometric patterns of the delta and the dramatic contrast of the red earth against the green jungle near Iguazu. If flying in the late afternoon, this side will experience direct sunlight, so keep your shades handy to prevent glare when taking photos.
