REL → EZE
Which side of the plane to sit from Almirante Marco Andres Zar Airport (Trelew) to Ministro Pistarini International Airport (Buenos Aires)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft is superior for this route as it offers breathtaking views of the Atlantic coastline, the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Valdés Peninsula, and the intricate estuaries of the Buenos Aires province.
Valdés Peninsula
The most iconic landmark of the flight; look for the unique mushroom-shaped landmass and the Istmo Carlos Ameghino.
Golfo Nuevo
The deep blue waters of the gulf where Southern Right Whales gather seasonally; look for white splashes against the dark water.
Bahía Blanca Estuary
A complex labyrinth of islands, channels, and tidal flats where the pampas meets the Atlantic Ocean.
Buenos Aires Approach
During the descent into EZE, you can often see the distant skyline of the capital and the muddy brown waters of the Río de la Plata.
Choose the right side and aim for a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the coastline. Between June and December, keep your eyes peeled over the Valdés Peninsula and Golfo Nuevo for whale activity. This side also offers the best perspective of the changing water colors from deep Atlantic blue to the silty brown of the Río de la Plata.
Patagonian Steppe
Expansive views of the rugged, arid Patagonian landscape with its unique geological textures and plateaus immediately after takeoff.
Río Negro Valley
A striking contrast of lush green irrigated agricultural land cutting through the dry desert near the city of Viedma.
The Humid Pampas
The transition into Argentina's fertile heartland, characterized by a massive patchwork of emerald and gold agricultural fields.
Estancia Formations
View traditional Argentine ranches and organized crop circles that create geometric patterns across the flat horizon.
Sit on the left if you prefer watching the sunset over the inland plains during late afternoon flights. It provides a better view of the 'green' transition of the Pampas, but lacks the dramatic coastal landmarks found on the opposite side.
