Which side of the plane to sit from Ministro Pistarini International Airport (Buenos Aires) to El Plumerillo Airport (Mendoza)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is favored for its perspective on the highest Andean peaks, including Aconcagua, during the descent into Mendoza.
Capital View
Distant views of the Buenos Aires skyline and the brown waters of the Rio de la Plata if the flight path tracks north.
Arrecifes River
Meandering river systems that carve silver paths through the flat grasslands of central Argentina.
Cerro Aconcagua
The highest peak in the Western Hemisphere, visible to the northwest as you enter the Mendoza province.
Mendoza Urban Forest
The incredible contrast of the lush, tree-filled city rising out of the surrounding desert landscape.
The right side is essential for spotting Aconcagua, located north of the city. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the eastern faces of the Andes. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing when the high peaks first appear on the horizon.
Metropolitan Reach
The dense urban sprawl and planned grids of the Greater Buenos Aires area immediately after takeoff.
Agricultural Grids
The perfectly square, multi-colored fields of the humid Pampas, the heart of Argentina's farming.
Tupungato Volcano
A massive, snow-capped dormant volcano that dominates the southwestern horizon upon approach.
Uco Valley
The prestigious high-altitude wine region with its geometric vine rows and luxury wineries.
Sit on the left for views of the Uco Valley and the Tupungato volcano. During winter months, the snow-covered Cordon del Plata provides a stunning white backdrop. Evening flights are particularly beautiful as the sun sets behind the mountains.
