Punta Tombo Area
The flight path passes near one of the largest Magellanic penguin colonies in the world.
Bahía Camarones

Golfo San Jorge
The massive semicircular gulf that characterizes the approach into Comodoro Rivadavia.
Sit on the left for the best morning light reflecting off the ocean. During the descent into CRD, look for the contrast between the turquoise shoreline and the arid land. In spring, keep an eye out for whale activity near the coast.

Patagonian Steppe
The vast, windswept 'meseta' landscape characterized by low shrubs and arid plateaus.
National Route 3
The iconic highway that connects Buenos Aires to Ushuaia is often visible snaking through the desert.
Pampa del Castillo
High plateaus that rise significantly as the flight approaches the destination airport.
Endorheic Basins
Occasional views of dry salt lakes or 'salinas' that appear as bright white patches in the brown terrain.
The right side is best for late afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun over the ocean. It provides a sense of the immense scale and isolation of the Patagonian interior. Watch for the shadows elongating across the canyons during sunset.
