PUJ β EZE
Which side of the plane to sit from Punta Cana International Airport (Punta Cana) to Ministro Pistarini International Airport (Buenos Aires)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side provides a superior perspective of the Caribbean islands upon departure and a magnificent view of the Uruguayan coast and the vast Rio de la Plata estuary during the descent into Buenos Aires.
Caribbean Reefs
Stunning views of the coral formations and turquoise waters surrounding Hispaniola after takeoff.
The Amazon Basin
Hours of flying over the world's largest rainforest with glimpses of winding river systems like the Negro or Madeira.
Pantanal Wetlands
Visuals of the sprawling seasonally flooded savannas as the flight crosses central Brazil.
Uruguayan Coast
In the final hour, see the coastline of Uruguay and the city of Montevideo across the estuary.
Rio de la Plata
The massive, brown sediment-rich waters where the Parana River meets the Atlantic Ocean.
On this south-bound route, the left side is east-facing, making it ideal for night or morning flights to avoid the harsh afternoon sun. During the final approach to EZE, the left side often captures the glittering skyline of downtown Buenos Aires and the Puerto Madero district if the wind is from the north.
Saona Island
A bird's eye view of the pristine white sands of Saona Island shortly after leaving Punta Cana.
Guiana Shield
Aerial views of the ancient, rugged highland terrain in the northern part of the South American continent.
Cerrado Farmland
Intricate geometric patterns of massive agricultural estates across central and southern Brazil.
ParanΓ‘ River Delta
A labyrinth of islands, channels, and forests where the river system begins to widen near Tigre.
Buenos Aires Suburbs
Dense urban vistas and various football stadiums as the plane aligns for the runway at Ezeiza.
The right side is west-facing, offering spectacular sunset views over the interior of the continent. If the flight path takes a more westerly route, keep your eyes peeled for the Iguazu Falls area near the border of Brazil and Argentina, though this depends heavily on the specific air corridor assigned by ATC.
