Which side of the plane to sit from Ministro Pistarini International Airport (Buenos Aires) to Pinto Martins International Airport (Fortaleza)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular vantage point for the Atlantic coastline and the vast Rio de la Plata estuary during departure, providing a more diverse landscape than the inland views on the left.
Rio de la Plata Estuary
The massive, silty brown expanse where the Uruguay and Paraná rivers meet the Atlantic Ocean.
Santa Catarina Coastline
Stunning views of the Emerald Coast, including the island of Florianópolis and its white sand beaches.
Coastal Metropolises
Depending on the flight path, possible sightings of the densely packed coastlines near Santos and Rio de Janeiro.
Northeastern Blue Waters
The transition to the turquoise waters and coral reefs characteristic of the Brazilian Northeast.
Ceará Coastal Dunes
As you descend into Fortaleza, view the iconic moving sand dunes and wind farms along the coast.
The right side is superior for afternoon flights, as the sun will be on the opposite side, illuminating the coastline perfectly. This side offers the best views of the Atlantic horizon and the distinct 'meeting of the waters' at various river mouths along the Brazilian coast.
Buenos Aires Skyline
Immediate views of the sprawling Argentine capital and the Matanza River as the aircraft climbs.
The Humid Pampas
Expansive views of the fertile agricultural heartlands of Argentina and Uruguay.
Serra Geral Mountains
The dramatic edges of the basaltic plateau in Southern Brazil, featuring deep canyons and dense forests.
The Sertão Interior
As you move north, the landscape shifts to the semi-arid caatinga biome with unique geological formations.
Chapada Diamantina Distant Views
Glimpses of the high plateaus and rocky escarpments of the Bahia interior.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the rising sun. This side is better for observing the geological transition from the flat pampas to the rugged Brazilian highlands. Keep an eye out for the Paraná River system during the first third of the flight.
