Search flights from SCL to COR
Mount Aconcagua
The highest point in the Americas at 6,961 meters, visible shortly after takeoff from SCL.
Mercedario Peak
The eighth-highest mountain in the Andes, often snow-capped and striking against the blue sky.
Cordillera de la Ramada
A massive mountain range with several peaks exceeding 6,000 meters visible as you cross the border.
San Juan Pre-Cordillera
The dramatic transition from high alpine peaks to the arid, reddish foothills of the Argentine interior.
Mar Chiquita (Distance)
On clear days during the approach, the horizon hints at the massive salt lake to the northeast of Cordoba.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing to ensure your view of Aconcagua isn't blocked by the engine. For the most dramatic lighting on the rock faces, an afternoon flight provides excellent 'golden hour' illumination on the eastern slopes of the Andes. Check the weather; clear skies are common in winter, but summer afternoons can bring clouds over the peaks.

Tupungato Volcano
A massive stratovolcano that dominates the southern horizon during the initial high-altitude cruise.
Mendoza Valley
Aerial views of the sprawling vineyards and the city of Mendoza nestled at the foot of the mountains.
Cerro Juncal
A prominent glaciated peak located on the border between Chile and Argentina.
The Pampa
The vast, flat agricultural heartland of Argentina that stretches toward the Atlantic.
San Roque Lake
The primary reservoir for Cordoba, often visible during the final descent into COR airport.
The Right Side is excellent for seeing the southern massifs of the Central Andes. During the descent into Cordoba, look for the 'Sierras Grandes' and the popular tourist towns like Villa Carlos Paz. Morning flights offer the best lighting for this side, as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the mountains and valleys below.
