MDZ → COR
Which side of the plane to sit from El Plumerillo Airport (Mendoza) to Ingeniero Ambrosio Taravella Airport (Cordoba)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the majestic High Andes peaks during the initial ascent and early cruise phase, followed by the dramatic transition from the arid Cuyo desert to the verdant Sierras de Córdoba.
Aconcagua & The High Andes
Immediately after takeoff, look west to see the highest peak in the Americas and the snow-capped cordillera.
Cuyo Desert Plains
A vast expanse of red earth and scrubland typical of the San Juan and Mendoza provincial borders.
Sierras Grandes
As the flight nears Córdoba, the rugged northern ridges of the mountain range come into clear view.
Ischigualasto Vicinity
Distant views of the unique geological formations characterizing the northern Cuyo region.
Sit on the left for the best morning light on the Andes. During takeoff from MDZ, keep your camera ready immediately, as the plane quickly turns east, moving away from the highest peaks. For afternoon flights, the sun will be behind you, providing excellent saturation for photos of the desert and mountains.
Mendoza Wine Country
Aerial view of the grid-like vineyards and irrigation canals that define the Mendoza oasis.
Sierras de San Luis
Mid-flight views of the granite peaks and valleys of the neighboring San Luis province to the south.
Dique San Roque
On the descent into Córdoba, look for the iconic blue reservoir and the tourist hub of Villa Carlos Paz.
Córdoba Cityscape
A sprawling view of Argentina's second-largest city, including its historic center and tall skyline.
The right side is ideal for capturing the 'Emerald' transition of the Punilla Valley on arrival. If the flight lands from the south, you will get a panoramic view of the city of Córdoba. Beware of harsh glare in the afternoon as you will be facing the northern sun.
