CUN → EZE
Which side of the plane to sit from Cancún International Airport (Cancun) to Ministro Pistarini International Airport (Buenos Aires)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a more dramatic view of the Central American isthmus, the western edge of the Amazon, and the most iconic views of the Buenos Aires skyline and the Rio de la Plata upon arrival.
Riviera Maya
Immediate views of the turquoise waters and white sands of the Yucatan coastline after takeoff.
Panama Isthmus
On clear days, the narrow strip of land connecting North and South America is visible to the west.
Andean Foothills
Distant views of the high-altitude peaks and cloud forests of the northern Andes.
Pantanal Wetlands
The world's largest tropical wetland area, visible as a shimmering mosaic of water and land.
Buenos Aires Skyline
Unmatched views of the 'Paris of the South' and the massive Rio de la Plata estuary on final approach.
The right side is superior for daytime flights. It avoids the harshest direct sunlight when heading south, allowing for better photography of the Amazon. Most importantly, EZE approach patterns typically bank over the Rio de la Plata, giving right-side passengers a front-row seat to the skyscrapers of Puerto Madero and the central city districts.
Caribbean Archipelago
Aerial views of the deep blue Caribbean Sea and scattered islands south of Cuba.
Orinoco River Basin
The complex network of waterways feeding into one of South America's longest rivers.
Amazon Canopy
An endless horizon of dense, deep-green tropical rainforest stretching toward the Atlantic.
Paraná Delta
A vast labyrinth of islands and reddish-brown river channels near the flight's end.
Argentine Pampas
The transition into the fertile, flat agricultural heartland of central Argentina.
Choose the left side for overnight flights to witness a spectacular sunrise over the Atlantic horizon as you approach the Southern Cone. This side remains cooler during the morning descent and provides a clear view of the silt-heavy Paraná River delta, which is particularly vibrant during the golden hour.
