IGR → AEP
Which side of the plane to sit from Cataratas Del Iguazú International Airport (Iguazu Falls) to Jorge Newbery Airpark (Buenos Aires)?
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.
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.
