FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Considerations When Traveling with Ecocopter

Where does the flight depart from?

Tobalaba Aerodrome (Av. Alcalde Fernando Castillo Velasco N° 7941 Hangar A21B, La Reina, Santiago (Ex Av. Larraín)). This applies to all our experience packages.

Are there parking spaces?

At our Hangar, we have exclusive parking spaces for clients, which are located at the entrance of the premises.

What should I wear?

It depends on the time of year. In Spring-Summer, light clothing, and in Autumn-Winter with "layers," to easily remove if necessary.

Can I take photos and videos?

No problem bringing cell phones or cameras; the idea is to be able to capture every moment of your journey.

What is the best time to fly?

There isn't a single best time to fly; some prefer mornings, others prefer afternoons. In the case of the precordillera tour, flights typically depart in the morning since there are more chances of wind in the afternoons.

What is the best time of year to fly?

All times of the year have their "best time." Precordillera in Winter, Cajón del Maipo in Spring, or a sunset in Santiago in Summer are spectacular!

Can I eat on board?

No problem having a drink or eating cookies while we fly.

Can I carry extra luggage?

We recommend not bringing extra luggage, it’s better to enjoy the views (though it’s okay to bring a small bag or purse).

How long does the experience last?

Flight times depend on the experience you choose, but the "journey" starts before you board the helicopter, as visiting the hangar is an unmissable part of the experience.

Are there transport alternatives?

At the moment, we don’t offer a transfer to the premises, but getting there by car or public transport is very simple (You can also take an Uber without problems).

We recommend arriving 15 minutes before the experience starts.
