EZE → VVI
Which side of the plane to sit from Ministro Pistarini International Airport (Buenos Aires) to Viru Viru International Airport (Santa Cruz)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a more dramatic perspective of the transition from the flat Argentine Pampas to the sub-Andean folds and the lush Yungas region as you cross into Bolivia.

Greater Buenos Aires
Panoramic views of the Argentine capital's urban sprawl and the northern suburbs shortly after takeoff from EZE.
Sierras de Córdoba
Distant but visible silhouettes of the central mountain ranges of Argentina mid-flight.
The Yungas Foothills
As the plane nears the Bolivian border, the landscape shifts to the green, rugged hills of the transitional forest.
Santa Cruz Skyline
A clear view of the radial 'rings' urban layout of Santa Cruz de la Sierra during the final approach to VVI.
For morning flights, the Left Side is preferred to avoid direct sunlight and glare. During the descent, keep your camera ready for the unique circular urban planning of Santa Cruz. The landscape transition from the dry Chaco to the humid foothills is most visible from this side.

Río de la Plata
The world's widest estuary is visible on climb-out, showing the massive brown waters meeting the Atlantic horizon.
Paraná River Delta
Aerial view of the intricate network of islands and wetlands north of Buenos Aires.
Gran Chaco Plains
The vast, semi-arid lowlands stretching across northern Argentina, characterized by dense scrubland and remote outposts.
Agricultural Grid
Observed patterns of large-scale farming and crop circles in the fertile plains of the Santa Cruz department.
The Right Side is excellent for spotting the massive river systems of the Litoral region early in the flight. If flying in the late afternoon, this side offers softer lighting for photography of the Chaco plains. Watch for the Bermejo River which marks the general area of the international border.
