Which side of the plane to sit from Campo Grande Airport (Campo Grande) to Afonso Pena Airport (Curitiba)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the dramatic transition between the agricultural plains of Northern Parana and the lush, mountainous Atlantic Forest terrain as you approach the Curitiba plateau.
Paranapanema River
Aerial view of the natural border between Sao Paulo and Parana, featuring several large hydroelectric reservoirs.
Londrina & Maringa
Spot the sprawling urban grids of Parana's northern economic powerhouses, often visible as distinct islands of concrete amidst red earth.
Serra do Mar Edge
As the flight nears Curitiba, the horizon to the east reveals the misty peaks of the coastal mountain range.
Atlantic Rainforest
Dense, vibrant green canopies of the protected forest zones that flank the plateau before landing.
Morning flights provide the best illumination for the northern Parana landscape. Look out for the 'Terra Roxa' (red soil) which is iconic to this region and creates a striking contrast with the green crops. On arrival, the left side often aligns with a view of the Serra da Graciosa mountains if cloud cover is low.
Mato Grosso do Sul Plains
Vast stretches of Cerrado and intensive agricultural plots visible immediately after takeoff from Campo Grande.
Tibagi River Valley
The winding path of one of Parana's most significant rivers cutting through the central plateau.
Vila Velha Formations
If the approach path is from the west, you might catch a glimpse of the unique sandstone formations near Ponta Grossa.
Curitiba Urban Core
A panoramic view of the skyline of Curitiba, including the dense skyscraper clusters during the final approach into CWB.
Ideal for sunset flights to catch the golden hour over the interior plains. The right side typically offers a better perspective of the city of Curitiba itself if the plane lands from the north. Watch for the change in vegetation from tropical shrubs to the iconic Araucaria (Parana Pine) trees as the altitude of the terrain increases.
