Which side of the plane to sit from Tancredo Neves International Airport (Belo Horizonte) to Afonso Pena Airport (Curitiba)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the Serra da Mantiqueira mountain range and provides the most consistent views of the Curitiba city skyline during the standard approach into Afonso Pena Airport.
Serra da Mantiqueira
Stunning high-altitude landscapes and rocky peaks as the flight leaves Minas Gerais territory.
Curitiba Skyline
A prime view of the city center's dense skyscraper cluster during the final approach path.
Capivari Reservoir
A large, winding body of water nestled in the mountains just north of Curitiba.
Paraná Plateau
The characteristic Araucaria moist forest landscape, featuring the iconic 'Pinheiro-do-Paraná' trees.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the interior highlands. Ensure you are seated forward of the wing for an unobstructed view of the Curitiba urban area, which usually appears 5-10 minutes before landing.
Serra do Mar
Dramatic views of the coastal mountain range where the Brazilian Highlands drop off to the Atlantic.
East São Paulo
The massive urban sprawl of the Guarulhos and ABC regions is often visible mid-flight.
Paranaguá Bay
On clear days, the intricate estuary and port system near the coast can be seen to the east during descent.
Atlantic Forest
Expansive patches of protected lush green canopy as you cross the border into Paraná state.
Sit on this side for early morning flights to witness the sunrise over the Atlantic horizon. During descent, look for the Serra da Gracinha, an ancient road winding through the dense forest toward the coast.
