**FOLLOWING THE ANDES - SKBO SCEL **
Sunday, September 14 | 19Z – 02Z

This September 14th, we invite you to take part in a unique journey across the backbone of South America: Following the Andes. From the bustling capital of Colombia to the wine valleys of Chile, experience one of the most stunning and challenging routes on VATSIM.

Departing from SKBO – Bogotá, a city perched high in the mountains, you will set course southbound, tracing the mighty Andes through ever-changing landscapes. Across valleys, high plateaus, and towering peaks, the route promises both technical challenges and breathtaking scenery as you make your way toward SCEL – Santiago de Chile.

With a departure window at 19Z and an arrival window at 02Z, this event is designed to bring together pilots and controllers for a truly immersive operation. Expect full ATC coverage, coordinated traffic flow, and the thrill of crossing international skies on one of South America’s flagship long-haul routes.

From the coffee lands of Colombia to the vineyards of Chile, Following the Andes is more than a flight — it’s a celebration of aviation and the stunning geography that connects two nations sharing the same spirit.
