Which side of the plane to sit from Silvio Pettirossi International Airport (Asuncion) to Carrasco International /General C L Berisso Airport (Montevideo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for witnessing the dramatic confluence of South America's major river systems and the immense scale of the Rio de la Plata estuary.
Paraná River System
Follow the massive brown vein of the Paraná River as it flows south toward the delta.
Paraná Delta
A complex labyrinth of islands, wetlands, and winding channels where the river meets the estuary.
Colonia del Sacramento
On clear days, the historic Portuguese colonial port town is visible on the tip of the coastline.
Rio de la Plata Estuary
The jaw-dropping scale of the world's widest river, showing the distinct transition from muddy river water to ocean blue.
Montevideo Rambla
A stunning view of the city's coastal promenade and the historic 'Ciudad Vieja' peninsula during the final bank.
Choose the right side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. During the approach into MVD, planes often bank over the water, providing an incredible panoramic view of the Montevideo skyline and the Cerro de Montevideo. Keep a lookout for the 'color line' in the water where the silt-heavy river meets the clearer Atlantic tides.
Asuncion Suburbs
Aerial views of the urban expansion of Paraguay's capital fading into the lush green Chaco-like terrain.
Uruguayan Pampas
Vast stretches of rolling grasslands and 'cuchillas' (low hills) that define the Uruguayan interior.
Rio Negro Basin
The dark, winding waters of the Rio Negro, which bisects Uruguay and feeds several hydroelectric reservoirs.
Canelones Vineyards
A patchwork of vineyards and small farms in the rural region surrounding Montevideo, known for Tannat wine.
The left side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh western sun. It provides a better look at the inland topography and the agricultural heartland of Uruguay as you descend toward Carrasco.
