AEP → RSA
Which side of the plane to sit from Jorge Newbery Airpark (Buenos Aires) to Santa Rosa Airport (Santa Rosa)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior aerial view of the Buenos Aires skyline upon departure from AEP and better exposure to the sprawling agricultural geometry of the Pampas plains.
Buenos Aires Skyline
Breathtaking views of Puerto Madero, the Obelisco area, and the dense urban grid of the capital.
Football Stadiums
Spot famous landmarks like La Bombonera and the Avellaneda stadiums shortly after takeoff.
The Humid Pampas
Infinite green and gold patchwork of one of the world's most fertile agricultural regions.
Laguna de Lobos
A popular recreational lake that stands out as a blue gem amidst the flat farmland.
Sit on the left for the best morning views as the sun will be behind you. During takeoff from Aeroparque (AEP), keep your camera ready for the immediate transition from the riverfront to the massive urban sprawl. Watch for the 'pampas' circles—large center-pivot irrigation systems—as you approach La Pampa province.
Rio de la Plata
View the massive, silty brown expanse of the river that separates Argentina from Uruguay.
Paraná Delta
If the flight path arcs north, you can see the lush, labyrinthine islands of the Tigre region.
Luján Basilica
The tall neo-gothic spires of Argentina's most important pilgrimage site are often visible in the distance.
Arid Transition
Observe the soil changing to a sandier, drier texture as the plane moves into the 'Pampa Seca'.
The right side is excellent for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. Look for the massive cargo ships navigating the channels of the Rio de la Plata. As you descend into Santa Rosa, look for the 'Calden' forests—native trees unique to this transitional ecosystem between the plains and the desert.
