Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

While both sides offer vast views of the Argentine Pampas, the right side is superior for the iconic approach into Jorge Newbery Airpark, providing a panoramic view of the Buenos Aires skyline, Puerto Madero, and the port before landing.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏜️

Patagonian Plateaus

Vast, desolate desert landscapes showing the unique geological layers of northern Patagonia.

💧

Colorado River

The winding green line of the Colorado River, which marks the traditional northern border of Patagonia.

🏙️

Buenos Aires Skyline

Unmatched views of the city's dense urban core, including the iconic Obelisco and modern skyscrapers.

⚓

Puerto Madero

The sleek, modern docks and the 'Puente de la Mujer' bridge are clearly visible during the low-altitude approach.

🏟️

El Monumental Stadium

A perfect bird's-eye view of River Plate's massive stadium just moments before touchdown on Runway 13.

The right side is essential for the 'City Approach'. Request a seat here for evening flights to see the city lights of Buenos Aires. Watch for the 'La Plata' city grid in the distance if the plane circles south before landing.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Limay & Neuquén Confluence

Shortly after takeoff, see the precise point where the Limay and Neuquén rivers merge to form the Río Negro.

🏞️

Lake Pellegrini

A striking blue reservoir located just north of the city that stands out against the arid Patagonian landscape.

🌾

Agricultural Grids

Observation of the transition from desert steppe to the highly organized, massive green crop circles and squares of the humid Pampas.

🏘️

Northern Suburbs

Clear views of the wealthy northern districts like San Isidro and Olivos as the plane descends over the coastline.

🚤

Luján River Delta

The intricate network of islands and channels of the Tigre area visible just before the final turn into the airport.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh southern sun. It offers a better perspective of the Neuquén river valley immediately after departure. During the approach, look for the presidential residence in Olivos near the shoreline.
