ATLEZE

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers spectacular views of the Caribbean island chains during the initial hours and a superior perspective of the Rio de la Plata and the Montevideo coastline during the final descent into Buenos Aires.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏖️

Bahamian Cays

Stunning aerial views of the turquoise waters and white sand chains of the Exumas and southern Bahamas.

🏝️

Hispaniola

Rugged mountainous terrain and coastal fringes of the Dominican Republic as the flight heads south.

🌳

Amazon Rainforest

Vast expanse of dense green canopy punctuated by winding dark-water tributaries in northern Brazil.

🌊

Rio de la Plata

The world's widest estuary, showing the distinct transition between muddy river water and the blue Atlantic.

🏙️

Montevideo Skyline

On many flight paths, the Uruguayan capital is visible across the water before the final turn toward EZE.

Since this is a north-to-south long-haul flight, it usually departs ATL in the evening. Most of the Caribbean views occur at dusk or under moonlight. The best scenery on the left side happens at sunrise as you cross into the Southern Hemisphere, offering a beautiful glow over the Brazilian interior and the approach into Argentina.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🐊

Florida Everglades

The unique marshy textures of southern Florida and the Florida Keys visible shortly after departure.

🇨🇺

Western Cuba

Aerial views of the Varadero peninsula and the agricultural landscapes of the Pinar del Rio region.

🏔️

Andean Foothills

Distal views of the high altitude peaks of the Andes range to the far west during the mid-flight transit.

🐆

The Pantanal

The world's largest tropical wetland, appearing as a complex mosaic of lakes and rivers in southwestern Brazil.

🌾

The Pampas

The endless, flat fertile plains of central Argentina that signify the approach to Buenos Aires.

For passengers on the right side, the highlight is the early morning light hitting the Pantanal and the Parana River system. If the flight path is slightly more westerly, you may catch the silhouette of the Andes on the distant horizon. Keep window shades down during the middle of the night to respect sleeping passengers, but open them about 90 minutes before landing for the Pampas.
