VVI → EZE
Which side of the plane to sit from Viru Viru International Airport (Santa Cruz) to Ministro Pistarini International Airport (Buenos Aires)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally preferred for its views of the sprawling Buenos Aires urban landscape on final approach and better visibility of the diverse Argentinian interior landscapes.
Santa Cruz City
Direct views of the radial city planning of Santa Cruz de la Sierra shortly after takeoff.
Gran Chaco
Expansive views of the semi-arid scrubland and isolated settlements in northern Argentina.
Mar Chiquita
One of the world's largest endorheic salt lakes, visible as a massive shimmering body of water.
Sierras de Córdoba
Distant views of the central mountain ranges rising from the flat plains of the Pampas.
Buenos Aires Skyline
Stunning aerial views of the massive 'Paris of the South' metropolitan area during the EZE arrival.
Afternoon flights are best on the right side to avoid the harsh morning sun glare. This side offers the most dramatic views of the Buenos Aires urban grid during the standard approach into EZE. Keep a camera ready for the Laguna de Mar Chiquita salt lake about midway through the flight.
Santa Cruz Lowlands
Lush tropical landscapes surrounding VVI as you depart from the Bolivian plains.
Bermejo River
Intricate, meandering river patterns forming the natural border between Bolivia and Argentina.
Humid Pampas
A vast tapestry of agricultural fields and cattle ranches as you move into central Argentina.
Paraná Delta
A massive maze of islands and brown water channels where the Paraná River meets the estuary.
Río de la Plata
The expansive, sediment-rich estuary that looks like an ocean made of chocolate milk.
Choose a morning flight for spectacular sunrise views over the wetlands. The left side is ideal for seeing the distinct 'brown water' transition of the Rio de la Plata. Avoid seats directly over the wing for better views of the river networks.
