AEP → UAQ
Which side of the plane to sit from Jorge Newbery Airpark (Buenos Aires) to Domingo Faustino Sarmiento Airport (San Juan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Paraná Delta shortly after takeoff, followed by a more direct perspective of the Sierras de Córdoba and the dramatic approach into the arid San Juan valley.

Paraná Delta
A stunning maze of brown river channels and bright green islands where the Paraná River meets the Río de la Plata.
Sierras de Córdoba
Aerial views of the ancient granite peaks of the Sierras Chicas and Sierras Grandes, including rugged rock formations.
Salinas de Ambargasta
Distal views of shimmering white salt flats located near the northern border of the flight corridor.
Precordillera Range
The dramatic first folds of the Andes mountains that rise sharply from the desert floor just before landing.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to have the sun behind you, illuminating the mountains. During descent into UAQ, look for the 'Pie de Palo' mountain, an isolated massif that stands prominently in the valley.

Buenos Aires Skyline
Unmatched views of Puerto Madero, the Obelisk, and the dense urban grid of the capital city during takeoff.
The Humid Pampa
A vast expanse of emerald green agricultural fields and circular irrigation patterns typical of the Argentine heartland.
Cuyo Desert
As you enter San Juan province, the landscape shifts to a stark, beautiful palette of ochre and red earth.
Tulum Valley Vineyards
Lush green geometric patches of grapevine estates appearing as oases amidst the surrounding dry terrain.
Choose the left side for late afternoon or evening flights to experience the sunset over the distant Andes. This side provides the best view of the Buenos Aires urban sprawl immediately after departing Jorge Newbery.
