Rio de la Plata Estuary
Dramatic views of the massive brown estuary meeting the city's edge immediately after takeoff.
Mar del Plata Skyline
A glimpse of Argentina's premier beach resort city and its sprawling sandy coast.
Atlantic Coastline
Continuous views of rugged cliffs and secret beaches where the Pampas meet the ocean.
Golfo San Matías
The deep blue waters of this massive gulf become visible as you enter Patagonian airspace.
Península Valdés
A UNESCO World Heritage site known for its unique 'mushroom' shape and rich marine life.
Sit on the left (A/L) for morning flights to see the sunrise over the Atlantic. During the descent, the Valdes Peninsula is a major landmark; have your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing. Avoid seats directly over the wing for the clearest view of the coastline.

Greater Buenos Aires
The immense urban sprawl of the capital's southern suburbs during the initial climb.
The Humid Pampas
Endless patchwork quilts of green and gold agricultural fields and cattle ranches.
Laguna del Monte
One of many large shallow lagoons that dot the flat interior landscape of Buenos Aires province.
Patagonian Steppe
The landscape shifts to an arid, brush-covered desert with distinctive reddish soil tones.
Lower Chubut Valley
A thin, vibrant green strip of irrigated farmland cutting through the desert near Trelew.
The right side (F/K) is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It offers an excellent perspective of the 'Diagonal Árida' where the lush Pampas transition into the dry Patagonian desert. Look for the contrast of the green Chubut River valley against the brown desert during final approach.
