Mount Aconcagua
The 'Colossus of America' is clearly visible to the north shortly after the climb from Santiago.
High Andes Glaciers
Aerial views of permanent snowfields and turquoise alpine lagoons in the central mountain range.
Argentine Pampas
The vast, productive agricultural heartland of Argentina laid out in a massive green and gold patchwork.
Paraná River Delta
A complex labyrinth of sediment-rich islands and jungle-like waterways as you enter the Buenos Aires province.
Book a window seat forward of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of Aconcagua, which appears 10–15 minutes after takeoff. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the eastern face of the Andes, providing better contrast for photography.

The right side is the 'City Side' for landing. As the aircraft descends over the Rio de la Plata, you will get an incredible parallel view of the waterfront. Choose an afternoon flight for golden hour lighting on the Buenos Aires skyscrapers.
