Golfo San Matías
The vast blue expanse of the gulf contrasts sharply with the brown Patagonian desert landscape below.
Península Valdés
The unique hammerhead-shaped peninsula is often visible from high altitudes on clear days, a global biodiversity hotspot.
Puerto Madryn
Spot the coastal city and its deep-water piers tucked inside the protective circular basin of Golfo Nuevo.
Chubut Estuary
Watch where the green valley of the Chubut River cuts through the desert to meet the Atlantic near Rawson.
Golfo San Jorge
The final approach offers expansive views of this massive bay where the destination city of Comodoro Rivadavia is located.
Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sun illuminating the Atlantic coast and to see the distinct geography of Península Valdés. This side is particularly scenic during the final 30 minutes of the flight as you descend toward the coast.

Andean Horizon
On clear days, the distant snow-capped peaks of the Andes are visible as a jagged silhouette to the far west.
Patagonian Steppe
A mesmerizing view of the 'mesetas' or high plateaus that define the vast, wind-swept southern landscape.
Lake Musters
A vibrant blue freshwater lake that stands out as a rare oasis amidst the arid surroundings during the descent.
National Route 3
The iconic Patagonian highway appears as a thin, lonely thread connecting remote outposts across the desert.
The right side is superior for evening flights to catch the sunset behind the distant Andes. Keep an eye out for the unique terraced geological formations known as 'mesetas' that look like giant steps. Be prepared for moderate turbulence, as strong westerly winds are common in this region.
