If you fly down through Chile from Santiago to Punta Arenas, make sure you have a window seat!
And not just any window seat, you would like to be on the left side of the plane, cause from there, you can see the Andes!
It is a spectacular side, these mountains, and I was lucky we had a sunny day. The mountains appear a lot smaller from the air, but the breath-taking views of silent volcanoes is undescribable.
We arrived safely in Punta Arenas right at sunset, giving us a spectacular sighting during our landing. It had been a beautiful day in the south and clouds were just coming in from the mountains, bringing a night with heavy cold rains.
But as we landed, everything looked nice and peacefull. Totally ready for our new field campaign!
You cant beat the window seat!
although on long flights it is nice to be able to escape to the bathroom ;).
Ooh great tip! Stunning views and great photos!
Thanks a lot! Last year I had a window seat at the other site of the plane, so no Andes for me at all! That’s were I learned ;).
