AEP → RHD
Which side of the plane to sit from Jorge Newbery Airpark (Buenos Aires) to Termas de Río Hondo international Airport (Rio Hondo)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side offers a superior perspective of the Buenos Aires skyline upon departure and provides more comfortable lighting conditions during the typical morning flight schedule.
Buenos Aires Skyline
Unmatched views of Puerto Madero, the Retiro district, and the iconic Obelisk area immediately after takeoff from AEP.
Agricultural Heartland
The vast 'checkerboard' patterns of the Humid Pampas, featuring intensive soy and corn cultivation across Santa Fe province.
Dry Chaco Transition
A dramatic change in vegetation as the landscape shifts from lush green plains to the thorny, semi-arid forests of Santiago del Estero.
Sit in rows 5-12 to avoid the wing obstruction. Most flights to RHD depart in the morning; choosing the left side keeps the sun behind the plane, offering better visibility and glare-free photo opportunities of the Pampas.
Río de la Plata
Aerial view of the world's widest estuary, characterized by its unique sediment-rich brown waters.
Paraná Delta
The complex network of islands and subtropical channels of the Tigre region as you head northwest.
Río Dulce
The winding lifeline of the Santiago region, visible as you descend toward the Termas de Río Hondo reservoir.
The right side is excellent for seeing the river systems, but be prepared for intense sun glare on morning flights. During the descent into RHD, look for the massive Frontal Dam ('Dique Frontal') which is more prominent on this side.
