Which side of the plane to sit from Almirante Marco Andres Zar Airport (Trelew) to Comandante Espora Airport (Bahia Blanca)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is significantly more scenic as it tracks the rugged Atlantic coastline and offers a bird's-eye view of the UNESCO-listed Peninsula Valdes.
Search flights from REL to BHI
Peninsula Valdes
The most iconic landmark of the route, featuring its unique 'mushroom' shape and the deep blue waters of Golfo Nuevo.
Golfo San Matias
A massive, semicircular bay known for its deep blue hues and dramatic coastal cliffs that define the Patagonian shore.
Las Grutas Coastline
Clear views of the popular beach resort area with its distinctive white cliffs and turquoise waters.
Ingeniero White Port
As you approach Bahia Blanca, see the industrial docks and the complex estuary system where the land meets the Atlantic.
The highlight of this flight is the Peninsula Valdes shortly after takeoff from Trelew. For the best photography, a morning flight provides excellent front-lighting on the coastline. Ensure you are seated away from the wing to fully capture the curvature of the gulfs.

Patagonian Steppe
Expansive views of the arid, semi-desert landscape characterized by shrubs and unique geological formations.
Salina Grande
Vast, shimmering white salt flats located inland that create a striking contrast with the surrounding brown terrain.
Rio Negro Valley
A vibrant green ribbon of agricultural land cutting through the desert as you cross the major river near Viedma.
Pampa Transition
The gradual shift from the dry southern scrubland to the fertile, rectangular farm plots of the southern Buenos Aires province.
Choose this side for late afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. Keep a lookout for the Rio Negro crossing about midway through the flight; the irrigation canals create sharp geometric patterns in the green valley below.
