Our Recommendation
9.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the vast Pantanal floodplains and the dramatic, winding curves of the Paraguay River as you approach Corumbá.

Right Side Highlights
9.2
🌿

Central Pantanal

An endless expanse of pristine wetlands, offering the most iconic views of the region's biodiversity.

🐍

Taquari River Delta

Fascinating patterns formed by the silted riverbed and abandoned meanders, creating a natural abstract art piece.

🐊

Rio Abobral Basin

Intricate networks of seasonal channels and marshes that are prime habitats for caimans and aquatic birds.

🌊

Rio Paraguay Meanders

The massive, serpentine main artery of the Pantanal, featuring spectacular horseshoe bends and islands.

⛰️

Morro do Urucum

The iron-rich hills near Corumbá that rise sharply from the flat plains, signaling your final descent.

The right side is unbeatable for the descent into Corumbá, as it usually faces the Paraguay River. Choose this side for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. In the wet season (December-March), the entire landscape turns into a giant mirror, reflecting the sky and clouds in a spectacular display of water.

Left Side Highlights
8.4
🏙️

Campo Grande Departure

Aerial view of the 'Cidade Morena' and the transition from urban landscape to the Cerrado plateau.

⛰️

Serra de Maracaju

The dramatic geological step-down where the high plateau drops into the low-lying Pantanal basin.

💧

Aquidauana River

A major tributary winding through the southern edge of the wetlands, often flanked by lush gallery forests.

⚪

Nhecolândia Salinas

Unique circular soda lakes and freshwater lagoons that dot the landscape in a mosaic pattern.

🛤️

Estrada Parque

The historic 'Park Road' visible as a thin line cutting through the wilderness near the southern approach.

Sit on the left for better views of the morning sun illuminating the wetlands if flying early. During the dry season (June-September), look for white sandy river beaches along the Aquidauana. This side is also better for spotting the unique 'cordilheiras' (small forested elevations) that characterize the southern Pantanal.
