My wife and I flew down along the Andes on Thursday (from Panama to Santiago) and I spotted both the Magellan and La Silla observatories.
Along that section was probably the most visually amazing 45 minutes I've ever had. It was clear skies, afternoon sun, and we were flying at around 7000m down the Western side of the Andes. The light was amazing and the landscape perfectly lit. Aconcagua loomed in to view and seemed to take forever to pass, that is one BIG hill !
If you're ever flying around South America, there's no need for in-flight entertainment, just look out the window. Sadly just about everyone else on the plane was absorbed watching the tv or their ipad, oblivious to the amazing world just outside their window.....
Cheers,
Jason.
