The widest estuary in the world, showing the distinct brown silty waters clashing with the blue of the Atlantic.
Montevideo Harbor
A clear view of the Uruguayan capital, its historic 'Ciudad Vieja', and the iconic Cerro de Montevideo.
Punta del Este
The famous peninsula resort town, visible as a finger of land jutting into the ocean with high-rise buildings.

One of the largest barrier lagoons in the world, stretching for miles along the Brazilian coast.

Greater Buenos Aires
Aerial views of the sprawling Argentine capital and its northern suburbs during the initial climb out of EZE.
Uruguayan Pampas
The rolling green hills and patchwork agricultural fields of inland Uruguay as the flight tracks northeast.
Guaíba Delta
The complex network of islands and channels where the Jacuí River meets the Guaíba Lake near Porto Alegre.
Porto Alegre Skyline
Views of the northern residential areas and the iconic bridges spanning the Guaíba river system upon final approach.
The left side is best for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the eastern sun. It provides excellent views of the sunset over the vast South American plains if flying during the twilight hours. Watch for the 'pampas' landscape turning golden during the golden hour.
