Rio de la Plata
The world's widest estuary, visible as a massive brown expanse during the initial climb from AEP.
The Colorado River
A winding natural boundary that marks the official geographic transition into the Patagonian region.
Cerros Colorados
Spectacular red sandstone cliffs and canyons that define the landscape north of Neuquén city.
Mari Menuco Reservoir
Stunning turquoise waters of the hydroelectric complex set against the vibrant orange and red desert soil.
Distant Andes
On exceptionally clear days, the snow-capped peaks of the Andes mountain range appear on the far western horizon.
Highly recommended for late afternoon or sunset flights to see the 'Golden Hour' illuminate the red rock formations. Keep your window shade up for the last 20 minutes of flight to capture the dramatic transition from the green Pampas to the arid desert landscapes.
