Which side of the plane to sit from Diomício Freitas Airport (Criciuma) to Hercílio Luz International Airport (Florianopolis)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a breathtaking perspective of the Santa Catarina coastline, featuring the expansive lagoon complexes and the world-renowned beaches of the Emerald Coast.
Laguna Estuary System
A stunning network of lagoons including Santo Antônio and Imaruí meeting the Atlantic Ocean.
Anita Garibaldi Bridge
The massive cable-stayed bridge over the Laranjal Lagoon, a masterpiece of modern Brazilian engineering.
Praia do Rosa & Garopaba
Scenic views of horseshoe-shaped bays and the lush green hills that meet the white sandy beaches.
Ilha de Santa Catarina
Complete panoramic view of the island of Florianópolis, including the southern dunes of Joaquina and the Naufragados lighthouse.
The right side is the premier choice for coastal photography. Afternoon flights offer warm, golden lighting on the lagoons. Keep your camera ready about 10-15 minutes into the flight for the best view of the Anita Garibaldi Bridge.
Serra Geral Escarpments
Distant views of the dramatic plateaus that define the border between the coastal plain and the highlands.
Criciúma Urban Grid
A clear view of the industrial and residential layout of southern Santa Catarina's largest city shortly after takeoff.
Jorge Lacerda Power Complex
One of South America's largest coal-fired power plants, located near the city of Tubarão.
Ribeirão da Ilha
Historic Azorean settlements with colorful architecture visible during the low-altitude approach to Florianópolis.
Sit on the left during morning flights to keep the sun behind you for better visibility of the inland mountains. Watch for the 'Serra do Rio do Rastro' on the horizon on exceptionally clear days.
