About the EZE–LIM route

The Buenos Aires to Lima route crosses the Rocky Mountains — one of the most turbulent regions in North America. Mountain wave turbulence occurs when strong winds blow over mountain peaks, creating powerful invisible waves that extend to cruise altitude. The worst turbulence typically occurs in the first 30–60 minutes when the aircraft is climbing over the range.

The route is served by LATAM, Aerolíneas Argentinas on Boeing 787 · Airbus A320 aircraft, with flights typically cruising at 37,000 feet over a distance of 2,191 miles (1,904 nautical miles).
