SLAEZE

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior perspective of the transition from the rugged pre-Andean valleys of Salta into the vast agricultural heartland of Argentina, often providing distant glimpses of the Sierras de Cordoba and a better angle of the Buenos Aires urban sprawl upon approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌄

Valle de Lerma

Panoramic views of the fertile valley floor as the plane climbs out of Martin Miguel de Guemes Airport.

🗻

Pre-Cordillera Glimpses

Distant views of the high Andean foothills to the west, providing a rugged horizon during the first half of the flight.

🚜

The Pampas Grid

The iconic 'Humid Pampas' visible as a giant patchwork quilt of soy, corn, and wheat fields.

🏙️

Buenos Aires Skyline

As the flight nears EZE, the right side often catches the dense cluster of skyscrapers in Retiro and Puerto Madero.

✈️

Ezeiza Approach

A great view of the airport layout and the surrounding eucalyptus forests of the Ezeiza woods during final descent.

Book the right side for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the horizon. Keep your camera ready during the final 15 minutes of the flight; depending on wind direction, the right side frequently offers the best views of the city's massive urban footprint.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
⛰️

Sierras Subandinas

Dramatic views of the jagged, green-covered ridges surrounding Salta immediately after takeoff.

🌳

The Yungas Biosphere

Dense subtropical cloud forests that transition into the flat plains of the Gran Chaco.

💧

Mar Chiquita

On clear days, the distant northern shimmer of Argentina's largest salt lake can be spotted to the east.

🌿

Paraná River Delta

A labyrinth of islands and brown waterways where the Paraná meets the Rio de la Plata near the end of the flight.

🏙️

Northern Suburbs

Views of the upscale residential areas of Tigre and San Isidro during the descent into the BA basin.

Choose the left side for morning flights to see the sunrise over the Chaco plains. It is also the best side for viewing the lush green transitions of the Yungas forest shortly after departing Salta.
