Buenos Aires Skyline
Unmatched views of the microcentro, Avenida 9 de Julio, and the distinctive urban grid of the capital immediately after takeoff.
Pampa Humeda
The vast, emerald-green agricultural heartland of Argentina, characterized by endless geometric crop patterns and estancias.
Sierras de Córdoba
Excellent views of the western slopes of the central mountain range, including the rugged terrain of the Pampa de Achala.
Sierra de Velasco
Dramatic approach over the arid, red-tinted mountain ridges that border the city of La Rioja to the west.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh eastern sun. Watch for the transition from the green pampas to the dry mountain scrub about 50 minutes into the flight. On the approach to IRJ, the mountains appear very close and offer great photo opportunities.

Rosario & San Nicolas
Depending on the specific flight corridor, distant views of major industrial ports and the riverine city of Rosario.
Salinas Grandes
