Which side of the plane to sit from Jorge Chávez International Airport (Lima) to Ministro Pistarini International Airport (Buenos Aires)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the massive Andean mountain range, including the highest peaks in South America and the transition from the high-altitude Altiplano to the lush Argentine Pampas.
Central Peruvian Andes
Shortly after takeoff, witness the snow-capped peaks of the central cordillera rising sharply from the coastal mist.
Mount Aconcagua
The highest peak in the Western Hemisphere (6,961m) is often visible to the left as the flight crosses the border near Mendoza.
Argentine Pampas
Infinite stretches of fertile agricultural land that define the heart of Argentina's economy and landscape.
Sierras de Córdoba
Old, rounded mountain ranges that provide a beautiful contrast to the flat plains before the final descent.
Sit on the left (Seat A) to see the sun rise over the mountains on morning flights. For the best view of Aconcagua, look out about 45-60 minutes before your estimated arrival in Buenos Aires. Be aware that clouds often gather on the eastern slopes of the Andes, so early morning flights usually offer the clearest visibility.
Pacific Coastline
In the initial stages of the flight, enjoy the dramatic cliffs and bays where the desert meets the Pacific Ocean.
Atacama Desert
View the surreal, Mars-like landscapes of the northern Chilean desert, featuring vast salt flats and red rock formations.
Puna de Atacama Volcanoes
A horizon dotted with perfectly symmetrical volcanic cones, including some of the highest volcanoes on Earth.
Paraná River Delta
On the final approach to EZE, look for the intricate maze of islands and reddish-brown waterways of the Tigre Delta.
The right side (Seat K) is best for afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight hitting the window. It offers a unique perspective of the desert's color palette. On the final approach to Ministro Pistarini (EZE), the right side often provides a distant glimpse of the Buenos Aires city skyline if the wind requires a landing from the north.
