Search flights from BOG to SCL
Ecuadorian Volcanic Avenue
Early in the flight, spot the snow-capped peaks of Cotopaxi and Chimborazo piercing through the clouds.
Cordillera Blanca
View the stunning glacial peaks of Peru's highest range, featuring Huascarán, the highest tropical mountain in the world.
Lake Titicaca
On clear paths, catch a glimpse of the deep blue waters of the world's highest navigable lake on the Peru-Bolivia border.
High Altiplano
Observe the desolate, multi-colored lunar landscapes and salt flats of the high-altitude Andean plateau.
Mount Aconcagua
As you approach Santiago, look for the highest peak in the Western Hemisphere, standing at nearly 7,000 meters.
For the best experience, book a morning flight to minimize the heat-induced cloud cover that often obscures mountain peaks in the afternoon. Ensure your window is clean for photography, as the contrast between the white snow and dark volcanic rock is spectacular. During the descent into SCL, the proximity to the high Andes on the left provides a dramatic sense of scale.

Enjoy the vast, deep blue expanse of the Pacific Ocean stretching toward the horizon for the duration of the flight.
Peruvian Coastline
Watch the dramatic meeting of the arid desert cliffs and the crashing surf along the coast of Peru.
Atacama Desert
View the world's driest non-polar desert, where the sand dunes meet the sea in a stark, beautiful transition.
Pacific Sunset
On late afternoon flights, this side offers front-row seats to a spectacular sunset over the ocean.
The right side is ideal for travelers who prefer the serenity of the ocean or are flying in the late afternoon and want to witness the sun setting over the Pacific. It is also generally better for avoiding the harsh direct morning sun that can make the left side uncomfortably bright. Keep an eye out for the unique coastal fog patterns known as Camanchaca rolling off the sea.
