Our Recommendation
9.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side of the aircraft offers spectacular views of the Andes mountain range, featuring several prominent snow-capped volcanoes and the vast Biobío river system.

Left Side Highlights
9.2
🌋

Lonquimay Volcano

A stunning, symmetrical stratovolcano that marks the beginning of the southern volcanic zone.

🌊

Biobío River Valley

The flight crosses over the wide, winding curves of Chile's most significant river shortly after takeoff.

🌲

Araucaria Forests

Dense patches of prehistoric monkey puzzle trees are visible in the high-altitude Andean foothills.

🗻

Llaima Volcano

One of the largest and most active volcanoes in Chile, often seen with a small plume of steam.

For the best experience, choose a window seat on the left (port side) for afternoon flights when the sun illuminates the Andes. During the winter months (June-August), the entire mountain range is covered in deep snow, making for incredible photography.

Right Side Highlights
6.8
🏙️

Concepción Bay

An expansive view of the city of Concepción, the port of Talcahuano, and the Pacific coastline.

⛰️

Nahuelbuta Range

The lower coastal mountains that are home to unique biodiversity and ancient temperate rainforests.

🌾

Malleco Agricultural Plains

A scenic patchwork of golden wheat fields and green pastures typical of the Araucanía region.

💧

Imperial River

The river that flows through the heart of the region towards the Pacific, visible during the final descent.

The right side (starboard) is preferable for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare while observing the coastal landscapes. It is also the side to watch if you want to see the transition from urban industrial zones to the rural heartland of Chile.
