Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a front-row seat to the dramatic Peninsula Valdes and the iconic skyline approach over the Rio de la Plata into Aeroparque.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
🐋

Peninsula Valdes

UNESCO site known for whale sightings; look for the distinct shape and white salt flats.

🌊

San Matias Gulf

A massive deep-blue bay that the flight crosses shortly after takeoff from Madryn.

🏖️

Atlantic Coastline

Rugged cliffs and remote sandy beaches lining the edge of the continent.

🟫

Rio de la Plata

The world's widest river, famous for its distinct brown, silty water as you approach the capital.

🏙️

Buenos Aires Skyline

A spectacular view of the downtown skyscrapers and docks during the final approach into AEP.

Sit on the right side for the most iconic arrival in Argentina; the plane usually banks over the river, offering a full view of the city. If flying between June and December, look down near the coast for splashes of Southern Right Whales. Morning flights offer the best illumination of the coastline and Peninsula Valdes.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏜️

Patagonian Steppe

Vast, arid landscapes stretching toward the Andes in the far distance.

🚜

Pampa Agriculture

Geometric patterns of Argentina's fertile grain and cattle heartland.

⛰️

Sierra de la Ventana

Occasional views of the ancient, weathered mountain peaks in southern Buenos Aires province.

🏘️

Urban Sprawl

The dense residential areas of the Greater Buenos Aires western suburbs during descent.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun over the Atlantic. Keep an eye out for the transition from the dry Patagonian desert to the lush green fields of the humid Pampa. During the initial climb, you may see the inland lagoons of Chubut.
