Which side of the plane to sit from General E. Mosconi Airport (Comodoro Rivadavia) to Presidente Peron Airport (Neuquen)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the vast Patagonian interior, including distant silhouettes of the Andes Mountains and large inland lake systems during the mid-flight phase.
Andean Cordillera
On clear days, the jagged peaks of the Southern Andes are visible on the horizon to the west.
Lake Colhué Huapí
A large, shallow endorheic lake located in the central Patagonian steppe west of the flight path.
Pampa del Castillo
The high plateau landscape characteristic of the Chubut province, showing unique geological erosion.
Limay River Meanders
The winding turquoise waters of the Limay River as the aircraft descends toward the Neuquén basin.
Choose a window seat on the left for afternoon flights to see the sun setting behind the Andes. Keep an eye out for the stark contrast between the arid desert and the deep blue of the occasional glacial lakes. Use binoculars for a better view of the mountain range.
San Jorge Gulf
Stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean and the rugged coastline immediately after departure from Comodoro Rivadavia.
Comodoro Rivadavia
A complete aerial perspective of the city nestled between the Chenque Hill and the sea.
Upper Valley Greenery
The vibrant green irrigated fruit-growing regions of the Rio Negro valley during the final approach.
Oil Fields
Dotted across the landscape are numerous oil extraction sites, showcasing the region's primary industry.
The right side is best during the first 10 minutes of the flight for coastal views. As you approach Neuquén, look for the sharp transition from brown desert to the lush green agricultural grids of the Alto Valle.
