Which side of the plane to sit from Ministro Pistarini International Airport (Buenos Aires) to José Joaquín de Olmedo International Airport (Guayaquil)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a front-row seat to the most dramatic peaks of the Andes, including Mount Aconcagua, and the spectacular 'Avenue of the Volcanoes' as you descend into Ecuador.
Mount Aconcagua
The highest peak in the Western Hemisphere, often visible as the flight crosses or skirts the high Andes.
High Altiplano
Glances of high-altitude salt flats and turquoise mineral lagoons nestled between jagged peaks.
Cordillera Blanca
Breathtaking views of Peru's glaciated tropical mountains, including the pyramidal Huascarán.
Avenue of the Volcanoes
The highlight of the arrival, featuring massive Ecuadorian peaks like Chimborazo and Sangay.
Guayas River Basin
The lush, tropical river systems and mangroves of the Ecuadorian coast during the final approach.
Sit on the right side (usually 'K' or 'L') for the best mountain views. The most iconic scenery occurs in the last 60 minutes of the flight; look for the snow-capped Chimborazo volcano, which is the point on Earth closest to the sun.
The Argentine Pampas
Vast, verdant agricultural plains stretching toward the horizon immediately after leaving Buenos Aires.
Andean Foothills
Dramatic southern views of the mountain range as the flight path aligns with the continental spine.
Pacific Coastline
The stark, beautiful contrast where the Peruvian coastal desert meets the deep blue of the Pacific Ocean.
Sechura Desert
Intricate wind-swept patterns and golden dunes of northern Peru visible during the mid-flight segment.
Oceanic Sunset
Unobstructed views of the sun dipping into the Pacific for flights scheduled in the late afternoon.
Choose a window seat on the left (usually 'A') for afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Pacific. Keep your camera ready about 3 hours into the flight when the transition from high mountains to coastal desert becomes most apparent.
