We do have specific routes we try to adhere to for each flight training package, weather and seasonal changes play a large role in the destinations we choose for our students, as well as the student's current skill level.
If there is a specific place or area of Patagonia you would like to fly to let us know at the time of booking and we can go over your options with you at that time.
