EZEIGR

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side is generally preferred for the approach into Iguazu, as it frequently offers the first and most direct view of the falls' massive spray plume during the descent.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Paraná Delta

Witness the intricate maze of sediment-rich channels where the river meets the Río de la Plata.

🏙️

Suburban Buenos Aires

Bird's-eye view of the sprawling metropolitan area's western residential zones during initial climb.

🚢

Paraná River

Follow the massive waterway that serves as the lifeblood of Argentina's interior commerce and navigation.

💦

Garganta del Diablo

On the final approach, look for the massive plume of mist rising from the world-famous Devil's Throat.

Book a window seat ahead of the wing if possible. During the descent into IGR, the pilot often makes a turn that favors the left side for viewing the falls' mist. Morning flights provide excellent lighting without solar glare.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Buenos Aires Skyline

Exceptional views of the Microcentro and Puerto Madero during the initial climb if departing towards the river.

🟤

Río de la Plata

See the vast 'River of Silver', the widest estuary in the world, stretching toward the Uruguayan coast.

🌾

Mesopotamian Plains

Vast agricultural fields and wetlands characterizing the fertile Entre Ríos and Corrientes provinces.

🌳

Misiones Jungle

Observe the dramatic shift to deep emerald green as you enter the dense subtropical Atlantic Forest.

Excellent for the initial departure from EZE to see the Buenos Aires city layout. As you head north, watch for the distinct red soil of the Misiones province, which provides a striking contrast against the jungle canopy.
