The Andes Main Cordillera
Continuous views of the snow-capped continental divide that separates Argentina and Chile throughout the flight.
Volcan Domuyo
Known as the Roof of Patagonia, this 4,709-meter peak is visible shortly after departing Neuquen.
Laguna del Diamante
On clear days, look for the diamond-shaped lake sitting at the foot of the Maipo Volcano near the border.
Cordon del Plata
A stunning glaciated mountain range that serves as the backdrop for Mendoza city as you begin your descent.
Volcan Tromen
An imposing volcanic massif located in the Tromen Provincial Park, visible in the early stage of the flight.
Secure a window seat on the left (usually 'A' seats) for the duration of the flight. Morning flights are ideal as the sun rises in the east, perfectly illuminating the eastern faces of the Andes. During winter (June-August), the mountains are heavily snow-covered, offering the most dramatic contrast against the blue sky.

Mari Menuco Reservoir
A massive deep-blue artificial lake that stands out vividly against the arid Patagonian steppe.
High Monte Desert
The vast, rugged, and reddish terrain of the Cuyo region, showing unique geological erosions and plateaus.
Mendoza Vineyards
As the plane descends into MDZ, the desert gives way to the lush green grid-like patterns of world-famous wineries.
Neuquen City Orbit
Great views of the confluence of the Limay and Neuquen rivers immediately after takeoff.
The right side is better for seeing the urban layout of Neuquen upon departure and the agricultural oases of Mendoza during landing. It is the 'sunny' side for morning flights, which can cause glare on the window; use a polarized filter if you are planning to take photos of the desert textures.
