Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a stunning vantage point of the Atlantic coastline and the unique geography of Península Valdés, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Golfo San Matías

Expansive views of the deep blue gulf as the flight tracks south along the Argentine sea.

🐋

Península Valdés

A bird's-eye view of the mushroom-shaped peninsula, famous for its incredible marine biodiversity.

⚓

Puerto Madryn

The coastal city becomes visible as the aircraft begins its descent towards Trelew.

🏖️

Golfo Nuevo

The protected bay where Southern Right Whales gather seasonally, visible during the final approach.

Choose a window seat on the left for morning flights to see the sun reflecting off the Atlantic. During whale season (June to December), keep a sharp eye on the waters of Golfo Nuevo as the plane descends into Trelew; you might spot whale splashes from above.

Right Side Highlights
4.2
🏜️

Patagonian Steppe

The vast, arid, and rugged landscape characteristic of the northern Chubut province.

🌿

Río Negro Valley

A thin ribbon of green cultivation cutting through the dry desert landscape near Viedma.

🛣️

Ruta Nacional 3

The iconic highway that stretches across Patagonia can often be seen snaking through the plains.

The right side is preferable for afternoon or evening flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun over the ocean. It provides a better sense of the sheer scale and isolation of the Patagonian interior.
