Which side of the plane to sit from Silvio Pettirossi International Airport (Asuncion) to Guarani International Airport (Ciudad del Este)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most iconic Paraguayan landmarks, including an early view of Lake Ypacaraí and a spectacular perspective of the Monday Falls and the Paraná River upon approach to Ciudad del Este.
Lake Ypacaraí
Paraguay's most famous lake, visible within minutes of departure, nestled between San Bernardino and Areguá.
Cordillera de los Altos
Scenic rolling hills and green ridges that provide a rare vertical contrast to the surrounding plains.
Tierra Roja
The striking deep-red soil of the Caaguazú and Alto Paraná departments, especially vibrant after rainfall.
Monday Falls
The 'Saltos del Monday' waterfalls are often visible during the final approach, appearing as a wall of white mist.
Paraná River
The mighty river forming the natural border with Brazil, showcasing the dense traffic near the Friendship Bridge.
The right side is superior for afternoon flights as the sun is positioned behind the aircraft. Watch closely during the final 5 minutes of the flight; if the pilot follows the standard southern approach, the Monday Falls are visible just before the wheels touch down.
Asunción Skyline
Aerial view of the capital's northern financial district and the expanding suburban landscape shortly after takeoff.
Northern Farmlands
Vast geometric patterns of soy and corn plantations that define the central-eastern agricultural region.
Itaipu Reservoir
The massive expanse of the reservoir created by the Itaipu Dam, visible as the plane begins its descent toward AGT.
Hernandarias
A clear view of the city hosting the binational entity of Itaipu and its surrounding industrial infrastructure.
Atlantic Forest Patches
Remnants of the interior Atlantic Forest appearing as dark green clusters amidst the red-soil farms.
To avoid harsh sunlight during this eastbound flight, choose the left side for morning departures. Keep your camera ready as you approach Ciudad del Este, as the scale of the Itaipu reservoir is best captured from this side.
