Which side of the plane to sit from Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport (Santiago) to Cañal Bajo Carlos - Hott Siebert Airport (Osorno)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a legendary journey along the 'Avenue of Volcanoes,' providing close-up views of the snow-capped Andes and a continuous chain of active volcanic peaks.
Maipo and Tupungatito
Massive volcanic peaks rising sharply near the Metropolitan region.
Descabezado Grande
The unique flat-topped volcano standing out in the Maule region.
Laguna del Laja
Deep blue alpine waters surrounded by dark volcanic basalt fields.
Llaima Volcano
One of Chile's most active volcanoes, located within Conguillío National Park.
Villarrica and Lanín
The iconic smoking cone of Villarrica paired with the massive Lanín on the border.
The Lake District
A stunning panorama of Lake Villarrica, Calafquén, and Panguipulli during the descent.
Sit on the left for the most dramatic scenery. Morning flights offer the best lighting as the sun illuminates the western face of the Andes. In winter, the snow cover on the volcanoes is breathtaking, while summer offers better visibility of the turquoise glacial lakes.
Central Valley Vineyards
Geometric patterns of Chile's famous wine-producing estates.
Coastal Range
The ancient, rounded peaks of the Cordillera de la Costa.
Temuco Cityscape
A clear view of the Araucanía's regional capital and its surrounding rivers.
Pacific Horizon
On clear days, the distant glint of the Pacific Ocean is visible beyond the hills.
Choose the right side if you are flying in the late afternoon to witness a beautiful sunset over the Pacific. It is generally less glare-heavy during the flight. This side is also better for seeing the urban layouts of cities like Curicó, Talca, and Chillán.
