Lerma Valley
Aerial view of Salta city and the northern mountain ridges of the valley immediately after takeoff.
Bermejo River
Watch the intricate, winding curves of the sediment-rich Bermejo River as it snakes through the Chaco.
Gran Chaco Forest
A vast expanse of subtropical dry forest that transitions into the agricultural patterns of northern Argentina.
Iguazu Falls
On a standard approach to Runway 13, the left side offers a stunning view of the Devil's Throat and the falls complex.
Vapor Plumes
The massive mist clouds rising from the falls are often visible from miles away on the left horizon.
Book a window seat on the left (A or B) and aim for a morning flight to have the sun behind you. During the final 10 minutes of flight, keep your eyes peeled for the white mist rising from the jungle—that is the falls. The approach often involves a left-hand turn that perfectly frames the Garganta del Diablo.

Sub-Andean Sierras
The rugged, green-clad foothills of the Andes visible during the initial climb out of Salta.
Paraná River
Views of one of South America's longest rivers as the flight crosses near the Corrientes province border.

A geometric patchwork of massive industrial farms contrasting with the wild Chaco landscape.
Misiones Rainforest
Dense, vibrant green canopy of the Atlantic Forest as you enter the Misiones province.
Tierra Colorada
Spot the distinctive, bright red soil of the region visible in clearings and dirt roads near the destination.
While the right side misses the primary falls view, it offers a great perspective of the Paraná River crossing. If flying in the afternoon, be prepared for significant glare as the sun will be on this side. Keep an eye out for the deep red earth which indicates you have entered the unique geological zone of Misiones.
