Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Río de la Plata

The world's widest estuary, showing a distinct brown hue that slowly transitions to blue.

🦢

Samborombón Bay

A vast, semi-circular bay known for its wetlands and diverse bird populations.

🧂

Mar Chiquita Lagoon

A unique coastal salt-water lagoon separated from the sea by a narrow strip of sand.

🏖️

Atlantic Coastline

Successive views of coastal resort towns including Pinamar and Villa Gesell.

🚢

Mar del Plata Port

The bustling fishing hub and sea lion colonies visible during the final approach.

Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to witness the sun rising over the Atlantic Ocean. This side is also superior for spotting the unique geography of the Mar Chiquita albufera just before landing.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Buenos Aires Skyline

Unbeatable views of the downtown core, Obelisk, and Puerto Madero shortly after takeoff.

📏

La Plata City Grid

The perfectly planned 'square' city with its famous diagonal streets and central cathedral.

🌾

The Pampas

The iconic, flat agricultural heartland of Argentina with its patchworked fields.

🛶

Chascomús Lagoon

A large, scenic lagoon often used as a waypoint for domestic flights heading south.

The right side is ideal for urban enthusiasts; keep your camera ready within the first 5 minutes for the Buenos Aires skyline. In the afternoon, this side provides better lighting for photographing the geometric patterns of the pampas.
