AEPTUC

Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers the most dramatic scenery, featuring a stunning view of the Buenos Aires skyline upon departure and the majestic Aconquija mountain range during the final descent into Tucuman.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏙️

Buenos Aires Skyline

Unmatched views of the microcenter, Puerto Madero skyscrapers, and the iconic Obelisco area shortly after takeoff from AEP.

🏙️

Rosario Urban Area

Clear view of Argentina's third-largest city and the Monumento a la Bandera along the banks of the Paraná River.

🌾

The Humid Pampa

A vast, geometric patchwork of fertile agricultural land that defines the Argentine heartland.

⛰️

Sierras de Aconquija

Dramatic rising peaks of the pre-Andean range that become visible as you approach the San Miguel de Tucumán basin.

🌳

Yungas Cloud Forest

Lush, dense green subtropical forests clinging to the mountain slopes during the final approach.

Sit on the left for the best mountain views during landing. If flying in the late afternoon, be aware that the sun will be on this side, making it bright but offering spectacular sunset colors over the mountains. Window seats A or B are recommended for unobstructed views of the city grid and the Sierras.

Right Side Highlights
6.5
🌊

Río de la Plata

Aerial perspective of the world's widest estuary, showing the distinct brown sediment-rich waters meeting the horizon.

🌿

Paraná Delta

An intricate labyrinth of islands, streams, and marshes that form one of the world's largest coastal deltas.

🏗️

Industrial Ports

The heavy shipping traffic and massive grain terminals of San Lorenzo and Santa Fe along the river corridor.

🏜️

Gran Chaco Plains

Transitional landscapes featuring drier forests and more sparsely populated territories as you head north.

The right side is excellent for early morning flights to see the sunrise over the river. It offers a better view of the Paraná River's complex hydrology. This side remains shaded during afternoon flights, which is better for glare-free photography of the river delta systems.
