PRA → AEP
Which side of the plane to sit from General Urquiza Airport (Parana) to Jorge Newbery Airpark (Buenos Aires)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a front-row seat to the massive Paraná River Delta, the Zárate-Brazo Largo bridges, and a stunning coastal approach over the Río de la Plata directly into the heart of Buenos Aires.
Paraná Delta System
An intricate labyrinth of thousands of subtropical islands and winding water channels that define the region's geography.
Zárate-Brazo Largo Bridge
The massive cable-stayed bridge complex that serves as the primary link between the Entre Ríos province and Buenos Aires.
Río de la Plata Estuary
The vast, silty brown waters of the world's widest estuary as the plane begins its final descent sequence.
Tigre Wetlands
The residential and touristic heart of the delta, featuring colonial architecture and hundreds of private piers.
River Plate Stadium
The iconic 'Monumental' stadium is often visible on the left just seconds before touching down at Jorge Newbery Airpark.
Sit on the left for the most scenic arrival. Flights into AEP typically follow a 'Costanera' approach; you will fly parallel to the coast, offering views of the Presidential Residence in Olivos and the northern yacht clubs. Morning flights are ideal to have the sun behind you, illuminating the green delta islands perfectly.
Santa Fe Skyline
Shortly after takeoff from Paraná, look across the river to see the neighboring capital city of Santa Fe.
The Pampas
Expansive views of Argentina's agricultural heartland, characterized by perfectly square fields and cattle ranches.
Paraná Main Channel
Clear views of the deep-water navigation channel used by international cargo ships heading to the port of Rosario.
Nordelta
A view of the massive, luxury gated communities and artificial lagoons in the northern Greater Buenos Aires area.
The right side is best for sunset flights, as the sun sets over the flat horizon of the Pampas. During the descent, you will see the dense urban sprawl of the western and northern suburbs. Keep an eye out for the 'Acceso Norte' highway, one of the busiest roads in South America, appearing as a lit-up artery at night.
