Which side of the plane to sit from Martin Miguel De Guemes International Airport (Salta) to Ingeniero Ambrosio Taravella Airport (Cordoba)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers spectacular and consistent views of the eastern Andes foothills and the dramatic Sierra de Aconquija range throughout the flight.
Sierra de Aconquija
Dramatic views of snow-capped peaks reaching over 5,000 meters, serving as the natural border between Salta and Tucumán.
Las Yungas Forest
The deep green transition zone where the high-altitude rainforest clings to the steep mountain slopes.
Tafí del Valle
A glimpse into the high mountain valleys and the La Angostura dam nestled between the mountains mid-flight.
Sierras de Córdoba
As the descent begins, the rugged, ancient rock formations of the northern Sierras de Córdoba come into clear view.
Orographical Clouds
Frequent cloud formations trapped against the mountain peaks, creating a 'sea of clouds' effect typical of this region.
This is the premier side for geography enthusiasts. Opt for an afternoon flight to have the sun behind you, perfectly illuminating the mountain faces. During winter (July-August), the snow on the Aconquija range is particularly striking. Ensure you book a seat away from the wing (front or back) to fully capture the vertical scale of the mountains.
Salta Cityscape
A beautiful view of 'Salta la Linda' and its colonial grid layout immediately after takeoff from Martin Miguel de Guemes Airport.
Valle de Lerma
Aerial perspective of the lush green agricultural basin surrounding Salta, known for its tobacco and grain production.
El Tunal Reservoir
A massive body of water located in the middle of the arid landscape, creating a sharp blue contrast against the brown earth.
Gran Chaco Horizon
The vast, flat expanse of the Chaco region stretching infinitely to the east, showcasing unique geometric agricultural patterns.
Sit on the left if you prefer a smoother, less glare-heavy view during afternoon flights. It is also the better side for spotting the city of Salta immediately after departure if the wind requires a northern takeoff.
