Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the most iconic parts of the journey, including potential views of the Iguazu Falls complex shortly after takeoff and the spectacular 'Costanera' approach into Buenos Aires, featuring the Tigre Delta and the city skyline.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
💦

Iguazu Falls

Depending on the departure path, a breathtaking glimpse of the Devil's Throat and the falls complex.

🐊

Iberá Wetlands

The shimmering lagoons and marshlands of Corrientes, one of the world's largest freshwater ecosystems.

🛶

Tigre Delta

A stunning maze of thousands of reddish-brown islands and winding subtropical waterways just north of the city.

🏙️

Buenos Aires Skyline

A front-row seat to the skyscrapers of Catalinas Norte and the iconic Puerto Madero district during landing.

🏟️

River Plate Stadium

The massive 'Monumental' stadium is clearly visible just moments before the wheels touch the tarmac.

The right side is essential for the approach into AEP. When landing from the north (the most common pattern), you will fly directly alongside the city. Choose a morning flight for the best illumination of the Buenos Aires skyline, as the sun will be behind you. Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff from IGR, as the plane often banks, offering a quick view of the falls area to the west/northwest of the airport runway.

🇧🇷

Brazilian Border

Aerial views of the dense Atlantic Forest stretching into the Brazilian state of Paraná.

🌊

Uruguay River

The winding silver thread of the Uruguay River, marking the international border with Uruguay.

⚓

Colonia del Sacramento

On clear days during the final descent, the historic Uruguayan coastal town is visible across the Rio de la Plata.

🌅

Rio de la Plata Horizon

The vast, sea-like expanse of the world's widest river as it meets the Atlantic horizon.

Sit on the left if you prefer looking out over the open water of the Rio de la Plata during the approach. For evening flights, this side avoids the direct glare of the setting sun, providing softer light for photography of the Uruguayan coastline in the distance.
