CPC → AEP
Which side of the plane to sit from Aviador C. Campos Airport (San Martin Des Andes) to Jorge Newbery Airpark (Buenos Aires)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the majestic Lanín Volcano shortly after takeoff and provides a stunning perspective of the Tigre Delta and the northern metropolitan area during the approach into Buenos Aires.
Lanín Volcano
A massive, snow-capped conical volcano that dominates the northern horizon shortly after departure from CPC.
Neuquén Lake District
Bird's-eye views of the crystal-clear glacial lakes nestled between the transition from mountains to steppe.
Patagonian Mesetas
High-altitude plateaus and unique geological formations as the landscape flattens into the arid interior.
Paraná Delta
A sprawling network of brown-water rivers and lush green islands visible during the descent into the capital.
Northern Suburbs
Clear views of the upscale residential areas of San Isidro and Olivos just moments before touchdown at AEP.
Choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Andes and Lanín Volcano with golden light. The left side is generally better for seeing the dramatic contrast between the mountains and the plains. On approach to AEP, the left side often looks directly over the Tigre Delta's intricate waterways.
Chapelco Range
Immediate views of the ski resort and the rugged peaks surrounding San Martin de los Andes.
Lake Meliquina
A deep blue glacial lake visible to the south during the initial climb out of the valley.
The Humid Pampas
The vast, fertile agricultural heartland of Argentina, characterized by endless geometric crop patterns.
Río de la Plata
The massive, silty estuary that looks like an ocean, appearing on the final approach into the city.
Buenos Aires Skyline
If the plane approaches from the north over the water, the right side offers a panoramic view of downtown and Puerto Madero.
The right side is excellent if the wind dictates a northern approach over the river, as it provides a cinematic view of the Buenos Aires city skyline. Keep your camera ready during the last 5 minutes of the flight. For the best views of the Pampas' agricultural patterns, mid-day flights provide the most overhead clarity.
