AGT → ASU
Which side of the plane to sit from Guarani International Airport (Ciudad del Este) to Silvio Pettirossi International Airport (Asuncion)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides the most iconic views of Paraguay's geography, including the Saltos del Monday shortly after takeoff and a prime view of Lake Ypacaraí and the Asuncion skyline during the final approach.
Saltos del Monday
Dramatic views of the 'Other Iguazu' waterfalls located just south of Ciudad del Este immediately after departure.
Red Soil Mosaics
The striking contrast of Paraguay's famous iron-rich 'Tierra Roja' against the vibrant green soybean and corn plantations.
Lake Ypacaraí
A clear view of the country's most famous lake and the summer resort town of San Bernardino during the descent.
Asuncion Skyline
Panoramic views of the capital's growing financial district and the historic downtown as the plane turns for landing.
Sit on the left for afternoon flights to avoid direct glare from the northern sun. This side is essential for seeing the urban layout of Asuncion and the beautiful Lake Ypacaraí. Try to secure a window seat away from the wing to fully capture the waterfall views near AGT.
Itaipu Reservoir
A distant but impressive view of the massive reservoir created by one of the world's largest hydroelectric dams to the north.
Cordillera de los Altos
Rolling hills and green ridges that provide a break in the otherwise flat landscape of the eastern region.
Paraguay River Meanders
Views of the winding river that separates the fertile Oriental region from the vast, flat Chaco wilderness.
Luque Suburbs
A close-up view of the Olympic village and the CONMEBOL headquarters located near the Silvio Pettirossi airport.
The right side is ideal for spotting the vastness of the Itaipu reservoir in the first few minutes of flight. It also offers a unique perspective on the Chaco region across the river during the final patterns. Morning flights on this side offer the best lighting for photography.
