Buenos Aires Skyline
A stunning aerial view of the capital's dense urban layout and the Casa Rosada if taking off towards the south.
The Humid Pampas
Infinite vistas of Argentina's fertile plains, characterized by a patchwork of green and gold agricultural fields.
Andean Sunset
On evening flights, the sun sets directly over the silhouettes of the distant pre-cordillera mountain ranges.
Sierra de Metán
Rugged, high-altitude ridges that mark the first significant elevation change as you enter the Salta province.
Yungas Cloud Forest
Lush, subtropical mountain forests that cover the eastern slopes of the Andes in deep emerald hues.
Sit on the left for the approach into Salta, as the plane often banks to align with the valley, offering close-up views of the reddish mountain peaks. In the late afternoon, this side receives direct sunlight, which can be intense, so keep your window shade handy until the descent begins.

Choose the right side to avoid the glare of the afternoon sun when flying north. This side provides the best views of the Paraná River system during the first 30 minutes of flight. It is also generally calmer for photography as you aren't shooting into the sun for the majority of the trip.
