Río de la Plata
The world's widest estuary, visible immediately after taking off from Aeroparque toward the south.
Atlantic Coastline
Continuous views of the rugged cliffs and sandy beaches stretching from Buenos Aires down to Patagonia.

A UNESCO World Heritage site known for its unique 'mushroom' shape and rich marine biodiversity.
Golfo San Jorge

Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind the plane, avoiding glare on the windows. This side provides the best view of the ocean-land interface. Look for the distinct turquoise waters near the San Matías Gulf during the mid-flight segment.

Buenos Aires Skyline
A sweeping view of the Argentine capital's dense urban grid and skyscrapers upon departure.
The Pampas
The fertile, flat agricultural heartland of Argentina, displaying a patchwork of green and gold fields.
Patagonian Steppe
The vast, arid, and windswept plateaus that characterize the interior of southern Argentina.
Endorheic Basins
Look for remote salt flats and isolated lakes like Colhué Huapi nestled within the desert terrain.
Distant Andes
On very clear days, the jagged, snow-capped peaks of the Southern Andes may be visible on the far horizon.
Excellent for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Patagonian 'mesetas' (tablelands). This side is better for observing the unique geological formations and the stark, desolate beauty of the interior. In winter, the landscape is often transformed by a light dusting of snow.
