Our Recommendation
9.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side of the aircraft offers an unparalleled view of the 'Ring of Fire,' showcasing a spectacular sequence of active, snow-capped volcanoes and the deep blue lakes of the Araucanía and Los Ríos regions.

Left Side Highlights
9.5
🌋

Llaima Volcano

One of Chile's largest and most active volcanoes, centered within the ancient Araucaria forests of Conguillío National Park.

🔥

Villarrica Volcano

A nearly perfect cone often seen with a distinct plume of smoke rising from its active crater near the town of Pucón.

💧

Seven Lakes Network

A stunning turquoise chain of glacial lakes including Calafquén, Panguipulli, and Riñihue visible in quick succession.

🏔️

Lanín Volcano

A massive, ice-clad stratovolcano that dominates the horizon on the border between Chile and Argentina.

🗻

Osorno Volcano

The 'Fuji of South America' provides a breathtaking landmark as the flight begins its final descent into Puerto Montt.

Book a window seat forward of the wing to avoid engine heat distortion. Choose a morning flight for the clearest air and to ensure the sun is behind the aircraft, illuminating the volcanic peaks perfectly. In winter, the snow line drops significantly, making the peaks look even more dramatic.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Gulf of Arauco

Expansive views of the Pacific coastline and the rugged Santa María Island during the initial climb from Concepción.

🏙️

Valdivia Estuary

The complex network of rivers including the Calle-Calle and Valdivia meeting the sea near the historic coastal forts.

🌲

Valdivian Rainforest

The dense, emerald-green canopy of the Coastal Range, one of the few temperate rainforests in the world.

🔵

Lake Ranco

A vast, deep blue lake featuring several inhabited islands, visible just before the approach into the Los Lagos region.

The right side is ideal for late afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the Pacific Ocean. While less dramatic than the volcanoes, this side offers better views of the winding river systems and the coastal geography of southern Chile.
