Which side of the plane to sit from La Araucanía Airport (Temuco) to Carriel Sur Airport (Concepcion)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers an unparalleled view of the majestic Andes Mountain range and the iconic volcanic chain of southern Chile shortly after takeoff.
Llaima Volcano
One of Chile's largest and most active volcanoes is clearly visible immediately after departure from Temuco.
Lonquimay and Tolhuaca
A stunning pair of snow-capped peaks situated to the northeast of the flight path.
Biobío River Valley
The winding path of Chile's most iconic river as it carves through the landscape towards the coast.
Nevados de Chillán
On clear days, the distant complex of stratovolcanoes marks the northern horizon as you descend.
The right side is superior for morning flights when the sun illuminates the eastern slopes of the Andes. Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff as the climb out of ZCO provides the closest proximity to the volcanic peaks.
Nahuelbuta Mountain Range
View the dense forests and ancient Araucaria trees covering the coastal mountains.
Gulf of Arauco
As the flight approaches Concepcion, the vast Pacific coastline and the blue waters of the gulf become visible.
Industrial Coastline
Spot the historic mining and industrial towns of Lota and Coronel along the rugged shore.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Pacific Ocean. It provides a better perspective of the coastal geography and the transition from the central valley to the sea.
