The flight path crosses the Misiones Plateau and its subtropical forest, then transitions into the Mesopotamia region (the area between the Paraná and Uruguay rivers). The landscape gradually flattens as the aircraft moves south toward the Pampas. The Paraná River remains visible for much of the flight, though it becomes narrower and less meandering as it approaches Buenos Aires. No major mountain ranges are visible; the terrain is characterized by rolling subtropical forest giving way to flat agricultural plains.
