Chimborazo Volcano
Visible shortly after takeoff from Guayaquil, this is the point on Earth closest to the sun.
Lake Titicaca
The deep blue expanse of the world's highest navigable lake straddling the Peru-Bolivia border.
La Paz Cityscape
A stunning aerial view of the city nestled in a high-altitude canyon surrounded by Altiplano.
Gran Chaco
Vast stretches of subtropical forest and savannah spanning northern Argentina.
Rio de la Plata
The massive estuary dividing Argentina and Uruguay, often visible during the final descent into EZE.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. For daytime flights, the left side provides the best lighting for photographing the Andes without direct sun glare in the morning. Keep your camera ready about 90-120 minutes into the flight for the best views of the Bolivian Altiplano.

Continuous views of snow-capped peaks and high-altitude volcanic craters.
Salinas Grandes
Stark white salt flats located in the high deserts of northern Argentina.
Puna de Atacama

The right side is ideal for catching sunset over the Andes on evening flights. Be aware that this side can get quite warm during afternoon flights due to direct sun exposure. Watch for the dramatic change from the arid Altiplano to the lush green agricultural zones of central Argentina during the final third of the journey.
