Cordillera de los Andes
Continuous views of the snow-capped spine of South America, with peaks often exceeding 5,000 meters.
Lanín Volcano
The iconic, symmetrical snow-capped cone of Lanín stands out prominently against the horizon near the mid-point of the journey.
Cerro Tronador
The highest peak in the Bariloche area, famous for its hanging glaciers and dark volcanic rock, visible during the descent.
Lake Nahuel Huapi
Stunning views of the massive, multi-branched glacial lake and its deep blue waters as you approach Bariloche.
Arrayanes Forests
Deep green patches of ancient temperate rainforests clinging to the steep mountain slopes near the Chilean border.
This is the premier side for this route. To maximize the experience, book a seat in front of or behind the wing to have an unobstructed view of the peaks. In the afternoon, the sun will be behind the plane or to the right, illuminating the eastern faces of the mountains beautifully. During winter (June-August), the entire range will be covered in heavy snow, offering a truly spectacular 'Alpine' landscape.

Mendoza Urban Landscape
A clear view of the grid-like city layout and the surrounding vineyards of the Maipú and Luján de Cuyo regions upon takeoff.
High Desert Steppe
The vast, arid expanses of the Patagonian plateau, showing dramatic geological formations and sediment layers.
Limay River Meanders
Beautiful views of the winding turquoise waters of the Limay River as the flight approaches the Lake District.
Valle Encantado
Unique rock formations and transitioning vegetation as the dry desert meets the moisture-rich pre-cordillera.
Sit on the left if you prefer to see the sunrise over the Atlantic horizon during early morning flights. This side provides a better perspective of the vastness of the Argentine interior and the complex irrigation systems that turn the desert into wine country near Mendoza. It is generally less prone to direct afternoon sun glare during this southbound route.
