Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side offers a superior vantage point for witnessing the dramatic transition from the Caribbean Sea to the Andean foothills and the vast, untamed landscapes of the Gran Chaco before landing.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🐊

Florida Everglades

The vast 'River of Grass' and unique wetland ecosystems of South Florida visible shortly after takeoff.

🏖️

Isle of Youth

The largest of the Cuban islands off the main coast, featuring white sand beaches and turquoise Caribbean waters.

🏔️

Andean Foothills

Stunning views of the eastern edge of the Andes Mountains as the flight path crosses through Peru and Bolivia.

🏜️

Gran Chaco

The massive, semi-arid lowland region of Northern Paraguay, characterized by its unique 'thorny' forest landscape.

🌊

Rio Paraguay

The serpentine path of the Paraguay River as it meanders through the landscape toward the capital city.

The Right Side is ideal for afternoon flights as you will witness spectacular sunsets over the South American continent. Watch closely during the final hour of the flight; the transition from the dry Chaco to the fertile regions near Asuncion is striking. Keep an eye out for the metallic glint of the Paraguay River which signals your arrival into the heart of the continent.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Miami Gold Coast

Breathtaking views of the Miami skyline, Biscayne Bay, and the upscale coastal developments immediately after departure.

⛰️

Sierra Maestra

The rugged mountain range of eastern Cuba, known for its historical significance and lush tropical vegetation.

🌳

Amazon Rainforest

An endless green carpet of the Brazilian and Peruvian rainforest, punctuated by winding brown river systems.

💧

Pantanal Wetlands

The fringes of the world's largest tropical wetland area, shimmering with patches of water and dense biodiversity.

Choose the left side if you are flying during the morning to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. This side is also better for spotting the urban sprawl of Asuncion if the plane approaches from the south, as it often provides a clear view of the city center and the iconic 'Costanera' riverfront.
