Calbuco Volcano
A massive, snow-capped stratovolcano visible shortly after takeoff from PMC.
Seno de Reloncaví
The northernmost body of water in the Chilean fjords, reflecting the surrounding peaks.
Islands of the Archipelago
Birds-eye views of Quinchao and other small islands known for their traditional wooden churches.
The Andes Range
Continuous panoramic views of the rugged mountain range to the east.
Book a window seat on the left for the most iconic Chilean landscape shots. On clear morning flights, the sun will be behind you or directly overhead, illuminating the glaciers on the volcanoes with crisp clarity. Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff as the plane gains altitude over the sound.

Chacao Channel
The narrow strip of water separating Chiloé Island from the mainland, busy with ferry traffic.
Ancud Bay
Views of the historic coastal town and its defensive fortifications on the northern tip of the island.
Valdivian Rainforest
Dense, lush green expanses of native forest covering the rolling hills of the central plateau.
Pacific Ocean Horizon
On clear days, the distant western horizon reveals the vastness of the Pacific Ocean.
The right side is particularly beautiful for afternoon or sunset flights, as the light reflects off the Pacific to the west. It also provides the best view of the Chacao Channel and the ongoing construction of the Chacao Bridge, a major regional landmark. In winter, the rolling green hills look particularly vibrant on this side.
