AFA → LUQ
Which side of the plane to sit from Suboficial Ay Santiago Germano Airport (San Rafael) to Brigadier Mayor D Cesar Raul Ojeda Airport (San Luis)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side of the aircraft offers a continuous and breathtaking panorama of the Andes mountain range to the west, including prominent volcanic peaks and deep river valleys that define the Cuyo region's landscape.
Search flights from AFA to LUQ
Andes Cordillera
A constant view of the high mountain peaks forming the natural border between Argentina and Chile.
Cerro El Nevado
A massive extinct volcano that dominates the landscape south of San Rafael, clearly visible during the initial climb.
Diamante River
The winding, silver thread of the Rio Diamante as it flows from the mountains into the arid plains.
San Rafael Vineyards
The geometric green patches of the 'Las Paredes' wine-growing region visible shortly after takeoff.
Book a window seat on the left (Port) side for the best mountain views. Aim for a morning flight when the sun is behind you, illuminating the Andes peaks with sharp detail and minimal glare. During winter months, the snow-covered peaks provide exceptional contrast against the brown desert floor.

Embalse Los Reyunos
If the flight path curves east, you can spot the turquoise waters of this dam tucked into the rocky canyons.
Salinas del Bebedero
Striking white salt flats visible as the plane enters San Luis province, looking particularly vibrant under high sun.
Sierras de San Luis
The ancient, rounded mountain formations that signal the approach to San Luis city.
San Luis City
A full view of the provincial capital and its grid-like layout during the final descent into LUQ.
The right side is preferable for afternoon or sunset flights to see the 'golden hour' glow on the San Luis salt flats and the Sierras. Keep an eye out for the stark transition between the irrigated oases of San Rafael and the dry, semi-arid pampas that cover most of the flight path.
