Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is generally superior for this route as it offers a distant view of the Pantanal wetlands upon departure and provides the best angle for spotting the iconic cone-shaped Maringá Cathedral during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🐊

Pantanal Fringe

To the far west, the horizon reveals the beginning of the world's largest tropical wetland system.

🌊

Rio Ivaí Serpentines

Dramatic, winding river loops as the flight enters the northern territory of Paraná state.

🏮

Terra Roxa Soil

The striking contrast between the deep red volcanic soil and the bright green coffee and grain crops.

⛪

Maringá Cathedral

The 124-meter tall Catedral Basílica Menor Nossa Senhora da Glória, a brutalist masterpiece visible on descent.

🛫

Várzea Landscapes

Flooded plains and diverse ecosystems near the border between the states of MS and PR.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the setting sun. Keep your camera ready during the last 10 minutes of the flight; if the plane approaches from the west, the Maringá Cathedral will be perfectly framed on this side. The red earth (Terra Roxa) is most vibrant just after rainfall.

🏙️

Cuiabá Urban Sprawl

Clear views of the Mato Grosso capital and the Arena Pantanal stadium shortly after takeoff.

🚜

Agricultural Heartland

A vast perspective of the soybean and corn 'sea' that defines the economy of the Brazilian Center-West.

💧

Rio Paraná Upstream

The massive expanse of the Paraná River, featuring several islands and hydroelectric infrastructure.

🌳

Cerrado Biome

The unique, twisted vegetation of the Brazilian savanna visible across the Mato Grosso do Sul plains.

Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the Chapada dos Guimarães horizon. It is also the side that often provides a better view of the heavy agricultural machinery operating in the fields during harvest seasons (February-March).
