Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior perspective of the high Andes, including potential views of Mount Aconcagua, and the dramatic transition from the high cordillera to the coastal deserts of Peru.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🏖️

Montevideo Coastline

Excellent views of the Uruguayan 'Rambla' and beaches during the initial climb.

⛰️

Mount Aconcagua

The highest peak in the Americas (6,961m) is often visible to the north during the Andes crossing.

🌵

Atacama & Nazca Deserts

A stunning landscape of red rocks, sand dunes, and arid plateaus leading into Peru.

🏔️

High Andean Peaks

Snow-capped summits of the Cordillera Occidental visible in close proximity.

The right side is essential for mountain enthusiasts. Aim for a morning flight when the sun illuminates the eastern faces of the Andes. Keep your camera ready about mid-way through the flight for the highest peaks. As you approach Lima, watch for the stark contrast where the brown desert meets the Pacific fog.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌊

Rio de la Plata

The world's widest estuary, visible immediately after departure from Montevideo.

🏙️

Buenos Aires Skyline

Distant but clear views of the sprawling Argentine capital across the water.

🏔️

Central Andes Slopes

Dramatic views of the western ridges and valleys as the plane enters Chilean/Peruvian airspace.

🌅

Pacific Sunset

On afternoon flights, this side provides spectacular sunset views over the Pacific Ocean.

Choose the left side for afternoon or evening departures to enjoy the sun setting over the Pacific as you parallel the coastline. It is also the better side for spotting the urban sprawl of Buenos Aires shortly after takeoff from MVD.
