Volcán Osorno
The perfectly symmetrical, snow-covered cone of one of Chile's most famous volcanoes.
Andean Peaks
A continuous chain of high-altitude peaks forming the border between Chile and Argentina.
Gulf of Ancud
The stunning 'Inland Sea' dotted with the smaller islands of the Chiloé Archipelago.
Volcán Calbuco
The rugged profile of the active Calbuco volcano, prominent as you approach the mainland.
Chacao Channel
The narrow strip of water separating the Big Island of Chiloé from the South American continent.
The right side is essential for volcano enthusiasts. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the Andes from the east. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff from MHC to catch the archipelago islands before the volcanoes dominate the horizon.

Pacific Horizon
Expansive views of the Pacific Ocean and the rugged western coastline of Chiloé Island.
Cordillera de la Costa
The dense, evergreen forests of the coastal mountain range stretching across the island.
Maullín River
Intricate wetland systems and winding river paths visible during the descent into Puerto Montt.
