Atlantic Cliffs
Dramatic coastal cliffs and remote beaches that define the edge of the South American continent.
Valdes Peninsula
A UNESCO World Heritage site with a distinct 'mushroom' shape, famous for its marine life.
Coastal Resort Cities
Aerial views of major summer destinations like Mar del Plata and Necochea as you head north.
Rio de la Plata Estuary
The massive, silty-brown waters of the world's widest river as the plane lines up for Jorge Newbery Airpark.
For the best experience, take a morning flight when the sun illuminates the coastline. Keep a sharp eye out for the Valdes Peninsula roughly midway through the flight. During the final approach into AEP (Aeroparque), the right side often offers a spectacular view of the riverfront and the city's coastal parks if landing from the north.
