Which side of the plane to sit from El Tepual Airport (Puerto Montt) to Carriel Sur Airport (Concepcion)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers an unparalleled 'Avenue of Volcanoes' experience, featuring a continuous chain of Chile's most iconic snow-capped peaks and the massive Andes range.
Osorno Volcano
A near-perfect, snow-covered cone that dominates the landscape immediately to the east after departure.
Lake Llanquihue
Chile's second-largest lake, reflecting the surrounding volcanoes in its deep blue waters.
Mount Tronador
A massive glaciated extinct volcano on the border with Argentina, featuring impressive ice falls.
Villarrica Volcano
One of South America's most active volcanoes, frequently seen emitting a steady plume of smoke or steam.
Llaima Volcano
A powerful and bulky volcano located within Conguillío National Park, known for its frequent activity.
Nevados de Chillán
A complex of several volcanic peaks that provide a dramatic backdrop as the aircraft begins its descent.
For the best experience, book a window seat away from the wing to ensure clear views of the peaks. Morning flights are superior as the sun illuminates the western faces of the volcanoes. Winter offers the most dramatic snow coverage, while summer (December-March) provides the clearest skies for seeing the entire mountain range at once.
Gulf of Ancud
The sparkling inland sea and the northern reaches of the Chiloé Archipelago visible shortly after takeoff.
Coastal Cordillera
The dense, green temperate rainforests of the coastal mountains, including the ancient Nahuelbuta range.
Gulf of Arauco
A massive bay that signals the approach to the industrial and maritime heart of the Bío Bío region.
Biobío River Mouth
The dramatic meeting point where Chile's widest river flows into the Pacific Ocean near the city of Concepción.
Choose the left side for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Pacific Ocean. During winter months (June-August), you might see the 'Camanchaca' coastal fog bank clinging to the hills. This side is also better for spotting the industrial ports of Coronel and Lota during the final descent.
