Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Montevideo Skyline

Panoramic views of the Rambla, the port, and the iconic Cerro de Montevideo hill.

💧

Uruguay River

Observe the winding natural border between Uruguay and Argentina from a high altitude.

🐊

Esteros del Iberá Edge

Views of the sprawling freshwater wetlands known for their rich biodiversity and shimmering lagoons.

🌆

Downtown Asunción

A stunning look at the Palacio de los López and the skyscrapers of the financial district.

⛴️

Paraguay River Bend

The sharp curves of the river that define the geography of the Paraguayan capital.

The right side is essential for the final approach into ASU. Request a window seat ahead of the wing for an unobstructed view of the 'Costanera' and the historic bay area. Morning flights offer the best lighting without glare.

🌊

Rio de la Plata Estuary

The massive, silt-heavy waters where the Uruguay and Paraná rivers meet the Atlantic.

🌿

Paraná Delta

A complex network of islands and marshes characterized by vibrant green sediment patterns.

🌾

Entre Ríos Pampas

Vast agricultural checkerboards of the Argentine interior stretching toward the horizon.

🚜

Formosa Frontier

The transition from agricultural plains to the more rugged, scrub-heavy Chaco region.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Paraná River. It is particularly scenic during the golden hour when the water channels reflect deep orange and purple hues.
