Which side of the plane to sit from Ingeniero Ambrosio Taravella Airport (Cordoba) to Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport (Santiago)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a direct, front-row seat to Mount Aconcagua, the highest peak in the Western Hemisphere, which dominates the northern horizon during the Andean crossing.
Córdoba Urban View
A clear view of the Suquía River and the expanding urban landscape of Argentina's second-largest city immediately after departure.
Mount Aconcagua
The 'Stone Sentinel' at 6,961m. This is the absolute highlight of the flight, appearing majestic and significantly higher than surrounding peaks.
Juncal Glacier
Brilliant white ice fields and glaciers tucked between the high ridges on the border between Argentina and Chile.
Aconcagua Valley
The transition from jagged rock to the lush, green vineyards of the Chilean interior as the plane descends rapidly toward SCL.
The right side is essential for seeing Aconcagua. Ask for a seat forward of the wing (Rows 1-10) to ensure the engine doesn't block the mountain view. The crossing happens very quickly, usually about 45-55 minutes after takeoff, so stay alert once you see the first high peaks.
Sierras Grandes
Aerial view of Mount Champaquí and the rugged granite landscapes of the Córdoba mountains shortly after takeoff.
Cordón del Plata
A stunning range of snow-capped peaks near Mendoza with altitudes reaching over 5,000 meters.
Tupungato Volcano
One of the highest volcanoes in the world, visible as a massive symmetrical dome on the southern horizon.
South Santiago Basin
The suburban sprawl of southern Santiago framed by the smaller pre-cordillera hills during the final approach.
Choose the left side for morning flights to see the eastern face of the Andes fully illuminated by the sun. It offers a broader view of the central massifs of the Argentine side before the steep descent into Chile.
