Río de la Plata
Aerial view of the world's widest estuary, showing the distinct brown silty waters meeting the blue ocean.
Atlantic Coastline
Continuous views of the rugged shoreline and sandy beaches of the Buenos Aires and Río Negro provinces.
Península Valdés
A UNESCO World Heritage site known for its unique 'mushroom' shape and incredible marine biodiversity.
Golfo Nuevo
The deep blue waters of the gulf where Southern Right Whales congregate during the breeding season.
Istmo Carlos Ameghino
The narrow strip of land connecting Península Valdés to the mainland, flanked by water on both sides.
Sit on the left for the best chance to spot the Península Valdés geography. Between June and December, keep your eyes peeled on the water surface during descent into PMY, as Southern Right Whales are often visible from the air in the Golfo Nuevo. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, providing better lighting for photos of the coast.

Buenos Aires Skyline
A sweeping view of the Argentine capital's dense urban sprawl immediately after takeoff from AEP.
The Humid Pampa
Vast stretches of fertile agricultural land and patchwork fields that define central Argentina.
Bahía Blanca
The industrial and port hub of the south, visible as a significant urban break in the rural landscape.
Patagonian Steppe
The transition into the arid, windswept plains of Northern Patagonia with its distinctive reddish-brown soil.
Puerto Madryn City
Views of the city layout and the industrial pier (Muelle Almirante Storni) as the plane aligns for landing.
The right side is excellent for observing the transition from the green Pampa to the dry Patagonian desert. If taking an afternoon flight, be prepared for significant glare as the sun sets to the west. This side is better for seeing the city center of Puerto Madryn itself if the aircraft approaches from the north.
