BRC → AEP
Which side of the plane to sit from San Carlos De Bariloche Airport (San Carlos De Bariloche) to Jorge Newbery Airpark (Buenos Aires)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior perspective of Lake Nahuel Huapi and the snow-capped Andes during departure, plus a better view of the northern Buenos Aires coastline upon arrival.
Lake Nahuel Huapi
Stunning vistas of the deep blue lake and the surrounding Andean peaks immediately after takeoff from Bariloche.
Ecological Transition
Witness the dramatic change from the lush Valdivian temperate forests to the arid, golden Patagonian steppe within minutes.
Limay River
Follow the winding path of the Limay River as it marks the border between the Neuquen and Rio Negro provinces.
Río de la Plata Coastline
On the final approach to AEP, you will see the northern suburbs of Buenos Aires and the muddy-brown waters of the widest river in the world.
Book an afternoon flight for the best lighting on the Andes; the sun will be behind you. During the descent into Buenos Aires, watch for the Presidential Residence in Olivos and the luxury marinas of the northern suburbs.
Mount Catedral
Catch a glimpse of the famous granite spires and ski slopes of the southern Andes during the initial climbing turn.
Alicurá Reservoir
A massive turquoise reservoir on the Limay River that provides a sharp contrast to the surrounding desert landscape.
The Humid Pampa
Fly over the 'Breadbasket of the World,' featuring a vast patchwork of green and yellow agricultural fields and cattle ranches.
Buenos Aires Skyline
If the wind dictates an approach from the south, you will get a front-row seat to the skyscrapers of Puerto Madero and the downtown financial district.
The right side is better for seeing the downtown Buenos Aires skyline if the flight path approaches from the South over the river. Keep an eye out for the El Chocón dam area mid-flight for interesting geological formations.
