EZE → PUJ
Which side of the plane to sit from Ministro Pistarini International Airport (Buenos Aires) to Punta Cana International Airport (Punta Cana)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side provides a superior perspective of the Argentine interior, the transition from the Chaco to the Amazon basin, and a prime angle for viewing the Caribbean approach near the Mona Passage.
Buenos Aires Skyline
Panoramic views of the Argentine capital and the expansive brown waters of the Rio de la Plata upon takeoff.
The Pampas
Aerial view of Argentina's famous fertile plains, characterized by a vast grid of agricultural fields.
Gran Chaco
The rugged, semi-arid lowland natural region that bridges the gap between the pampas and the tropics.
Amazon Tributaries
Spectacular views of winding, coffee-colored rivers snaking through the dense green canopy of the upper Amazon.
Caribbean Sea
The striking transition from the deep blue of the Atlantic to the vibrant turquoise of the Caribbean.
Mona Passage
View of the strait between Hispaniola and Puerto Rico during the final stages of the descent.
On daytime flights, sit on the left to avoid the harshest direct sunlight in the afternoon while traveling North. This side is also excellent for sunset views if your flight arrives in the evening. Keep your camera ready about 4-5 hours into the flight for the most dramatic river patterns in the rainforest.
Rio de la Plata Estuary
A wide-angle view of the world's widest estuary, with the Uruguayan coast visible on clear days.
Pantanal Fringe
Views of the edge of the world's largest tropical wetland, appearing as a shimmering mosaic of water and forest.
Central Amazon Canopy
An uninterrupted view of the world's largest rainforest, stretching as far as the eye can see.
Guiana Highlands
The ancient, rugged terrain and rolling hills of the Venezuelan interior as the plane nears the Caribbean.
Punta Cana Coastline
Magnificent views of the white sand beaches and coral reefs as the plane banks for its final approach into PUJ.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to catch the sunrise over the Atlantic/Amazon. During arrival at PUJ, the right side often gets the best view of the resort-lined beaches if the plane approaches from the East or performs a standard loop over the coast.
