Search flights from SCL to ASU
Mount Aconcagua
The highest mountain in the Western Hemisphere, visible in its full glory shortly after takeoff as the plane crosses the Andes.
Santiago Basin
A sweeping view of the Chilean capital nestled against the massive wall of the Andes Cordillera.
High Andes Ridges
Intricate geological formations and snow-capped peaks of the central Chilean-Argentine border region.
Pilcomayo River
The winding river that marks the border between Argentina and Paraguay, featuring dramatic oxbow lakes.
Sit on the left (Window seat A) for the best view of Aconcagua. Since the Andes crossing happens in the first 20-30 minutes, keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the western face of the mountains.

Tupungato Volcano
A massive, snow-covered stratovolcano that dominates the horizon to the south of the flight path.
Mendoza Wine Region
The lush green patches of Argentina's premier vineyards contrasting against the arid desert floor below the Andes.
Gran Chaco
The vast, flat expanse of the Chaco region, showing the transition from dry plains to subtropical forests.
Paraguay River
Broad views of the main waterway as the plane maneuvers for its final approach into Silvio Pettirossi International.
The right side (Window seat K or F) is better for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the northern sun. It offers a broader view of the Argentine Pampas and the extensive river systems of the Rio de la Plata basin during the mid-flight phase.
