Which side of the plane to sit from Cataratas International Airport (Foz Do Iguacu) to Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport (Santiago)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a legendary view of the high Andes, including Mount Aconcagua, and a better chance of seeing the full scale of the Iguazu Falls during the initial climb out of IGU.

Iguazu Falls
Depending on the takeoff path, you may get a direct view of the Devil's Throat and the massive spray of the falls.
Paraná River
A bird's-eye view of one of South America's most significant waterways near the city of Santa Fe.
Mount Aconcagua
The highest mountain outside of Asia, appearing as a massive, snow-capped monolith to the north during the crossing.
Andean Ridges
Spectacular, jagged snow-covered peaks and high-altitude glacial valleys during the mountain crossing.
Santiago Basin
A stunning view of the Chilean capital nestled right against the towering wall of the Andes Mountains during descent.
The right side is the clear winner for this route. For the best experience, book a seat behind the wing to capture the scale of Aconcagua without engine obstruction. On departure from IGU, the falls are often visible on the right if the aircraft loops westward. Aim for a morning flight to have the sun at your back, which illuminates the snow-capped Andes in brilliant detail.
Book Hotels in Santiago
Iguazu Basin
Aerial views of the lush subtropical rainforest and the winding Iguazu River upstream from the falls.
Argentine Pampas
The vast, flat agricultural heartland of Argentina with its unique geometric field patterns.
Tupungato Volcano
One of the highest volcanoes in the world, visible during the southern crossing of the Andean border.
Maipo Valley
The emerald green vineyards of Chile's premier wine region appearing during the final approach.
Choose the left side for softer lighting during afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the western sun. While it misses the highest peaks, it offers a great perspective of the southern Andean range and the sprawling agriculture of central Argentina. Keep your camera ready for the transition from the flat plains to the sudden rise of the mountains.
