Which side of the plane to sit from Guarulhos - Governador André Franco Montoro International Airport (Sao Paulo) to Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport (Santiago)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most dramatic views of the Andes, including the iconic Mount Aconcagua, the highest peak in the Americas, shortly before the descent into Santiago.
Search flights from GRU to SCL
Sao Paulo Skyline
A breathtaking view of the world's largest megalopolis during takeoff.
Paraná River
Aerial crossing of one of South America's longest and most vital waterways.
Argentine Pampas
The endless, geometric patchwork of the fertile South American plains.
Mendoza Vineyards
The lush green pockets of wine country nestled against the brown Andean foothills.
Mount Aconcagua
The 'Stone Sentinel' and highest point in the Western Hemisphere at 6,961 meters.
High Andes Glaciers
Stunning views of perennial snow and jagged glacial formations near the Chilean border.
The right side is the 'gold standard' for this route. For the best experience, book a morning flight to have the sun illuminate the eastern face of the Andes. Mount Aconcagua appears approximately 20-30 minutes before landing; listen for the captain's announcement. Ensure you have a window seat away from the wing to capture the scale of the mountains.

Serra da Mantiqueira
Rolling green hills and ridges as the plane departs the Sao Paulo region.
Paraná River Delta
Distant views of the massive river systems feeding into the Rio de la Plata.
Volcan Tupungato
A massive, snow-shrouded stratovolcano visible to the south during the mountain crossing.
Santiago Urban Basin
Panoramic views of the capital city as the plane turns for its final approach.
Choose a seat behind the wing to see the high altitude peaks of the southern Andes range. This side is better if you want to avoid the direct afternoon sun when flying during the middle of the day, as the sun will be on the north (right) side of the plane.
