Punta del Este
The famous 'St. Tropez of South America' coastline visible shortly after departing Montevideo.
Atlantic Sunrise
A breathtaking sunrise over the open ocean, which typically occurs while cruising over the Caribbean.
Bahamian Archipelagos
Vibrant turquoise waters and white sand cays of the Bahamas, providing a stark contrast to the deep blue sea.
Miami Beach Skyline
Panoramic views of the high-rises along South Beach and the busy Port of Miami during the approach.
Biscayne Bay
The crystal clear waters and artificial islands of Miami's bay area just before touchdown.
The right side is the clear winner for scenic variety. Most flights from MVD depart in the evening; sit on the right to catch the sunrise over the Atlantic. As you approach Florida, the right side usually provides the best views of the Caribbean islands and the stunning Miami shoreline. Use a polarized lens for photos to capture the true color of the Bahamian waters.

Rio de la Plata
The massive, silt-heavy estuary separating Uruguay and Argentina visible shortly after takeoff.
Amazon Rainforest
A vast, seemingly endless carpet of green vegetation spanning the interior of the South American continent.
Winding River Systems
Intricate, oxbow-heavy river patterns of the Amazon basin snaking through the dense jungle below.
The Everglades
The unique subtropical wetlands of Southern Florida visible as the plane begins its final descent into MIA.
Choose the left side if you prefer seeing the vastness of the South American interior and the Everglades. Since this is typically an overnight flight, the left side is better for avoiding the direct glare of the morning sun during the final hours of the journey.
