Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a stunning perspective of the San Jorge Gulf and the dramatic Atlantic coastline, featuring cliffs, marine reserves, and the approach to the Chubut River valley.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
๐ŸŒŠ

San Jorge Gulf

Expansive views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean immediately following departure from Comodoro.

๐Ÿง

Punta Tombo Coastline

Fly over the rugged shores near the world-famous Magellanic penguin colony.

๐Ÿ๏ธ

Cabo Dos Bahรญas

A prominent rocky cape offering a mix of turquoise waters and volcanic rock formations.

๐ŸŒฟ

Chubut River Valley

A striking contrast of lush green irrigated farmland as the plane aligns for the Trelew approach.

๐Ÿ‹

Golfo Nuevo View

On clear days, the southern edge of the Valdes Peninsula and the mouth of the gulf are visible.

Sit on the right for the best coastal scenery. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the cliffs and the ocean. During the whale season (June-December), keep a close eye on the water near the coastline for splashes. As you descend into Trelew, watch how the desert abruptly turns into the green 'Valle Inferior' of the Chubut River.

Left Side Highlights
6.2
๐Ÿœ๏ธ

Patagonian Meseta

Infinite views of the high arid plateaus and the classic wind-swept steppe landscape.

๐Ÿ›ข๏ธ

Oil Fields

Extensive networks of roads and pumpjacks around Comodoro Rivadavia, Argentina's oil capital.

๐Ÿ“‰

Caรฑadones

Deep, dry erosion canyons cutting through the sedimentary layers of the Patagonian shelf.

๐Ÿšœ

Estancias

Remote sheep farming estates visible as isolated green dots amidst the vast brown landscape.

The left side is best for seeing the industrial heart of Patagonia's oil industry. In the late afternoon, the low sun creates dramatic shadows across the canyons and plateaus, highlighting the rugged terrain. Keep an eye out for salt pans that appear as bright white patches in the distance.
