Los Alerces National Park
View the UNESCO World Heritage site known for its ancient Alerce trees and pristine temperate rain forests.
Mount Cholila
Spot the rugged, snow-dusted peaks of the northern Chubut Andes rising sharply from the valley floor.
Lake Futalaufquen
A stunning, deep-blue glacial lake that stretches through the mountainous landscape shortly after takeoff.
Mount Tronador
On a clear day, look further west to see the massive, glacier-capped extinct volcano that marks the border with Chile.
Lake Puelo
The turquoise waters of this lower-altitude lake are visible as the flight progresses northward toward the Rio Negro province.
Sit on the left for the most consistent mountain views. For photography, morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the eastern faces of the Andes. Keep an eye out for 'ventisqueros' (hanging glaciers) in the higher elevations during the spring and summer months.

Patagonian Steppe
Contrast the lush mountains with the vast, arid expanse of the high plateau stretching toward the Atlantic.
El Maitén Valley
The valley where the famous 'Old Patagonian Express' steam train operates, visible as a narrow ribbon of green.
Limay River
Observe the winding path of the river that carves through the volcanic rock formations of the 'Enchanted Valley'.
Lake Nahuel Huapi
An expansive view of Argentina's most famous lake as the aircraft banks for its final approach into Bariloche.
Bariloche Cityscape
The alpine-style architecture and urban layout of San Carlos de Bariloche become visible just before touchdown.
The right side is better if you prefer the dramatic 'ecotone' view—the sharp line where the forest meets the desert. During the afternoon, this side is shaded, which helps reduce window glare for photos of the steppe and the Limay River valley.
