Which side of the plane to sit from Caçador Airport (Cacador) to Santa Terezinha Airport (Joacaba)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides the most dramatic views of the Rio do Peixe valley and the urban landscape of Videira before the descent into the hilltop airport of Joaçaba.
Videira Panorama
Aerial view of the city of Videira, known as the 'Capital of Grapes', located mid-route.
Rio do Peixe Curves
Dramatic winding river bends that carve through the mountainous landscape towards Joaçaba.
Herval d'Oeste
Visuals of the sister city across the river just moments before landing at Santa Terezinha.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to catch the sun reflecting off the Rio do Peixe. Be ready as you approach Joaçaba; the airport is on a high plateau, offering a sudden drop-away view of the river valley.
Araucaria Forests
Dense clusters of the iconic Brazilian pine trees scattered across the high plateau.
Highland Terrain
Rolling hills and deep green valleys characteristic of the Santa Catarina mid-west.
Rural Settlements
Small agricultural homesteads and traditional farming plots typical of the region's colonization.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight while observing the fog-filled valleys. This side offers a serene view of the highland wilderness before the quick descent.
