Which side of the plane to sit from Afonso Pena Airport (Curitiba) to Cascavel Airport (Cascavel)?

Our Recommendation
8.4

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the Iguaçu River basin and the dramatic transition between the geological plateaus of Paraná, including major hydroelectric reservoirs.

Left Side Highlights
8.4
🌲

Araucária Forests

Dense clusters of the iconic Brazilian Pine trees scattered across the high plateaus of the Primeiro and Segundo Planalto.

🌊

Iguaçu River Basin

The meandering path of the Iguaçu River is often visible, winding its way westward toward the famous falls.

🔋

Salto Santiago Reservoir

A massive and intricate hydroelectric lake with deep blue waters that contrast sharply with the surrounding greenery.

🌄

Serra da Esperança

The steep escarpment that marks the dramatic descent from the second to the third plateau of Paraná near Guarapuava.

Choose the left side for morning flights (CWB-CAC) to have the sun behind you, illuminating the river valleys and forest textures perfectly. During the descent into Cascavel, this side provides a better view of the surrounding agricultural expansion and the smaller river tributaries.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Curitiba Urban Vista

A sweeping view of the Curitiba skyline and the nearby Serra do Mar mountains shortly after departure from Afonso Pena.

🚜

Terra Roxa Farmland

The legendary fertile deep-red soil of the region creates a vibrant geometric patchwork of soy, corn, and wheat fields.

🏢

Guarapuava Landmark

A clear view of the city of Guarapuava, which serves as a major waypoint and high-altitude landmark halfway through the flight.

🛤️

Paraná Railway

Sections of the historic railway lines that transport grain and cargo across the rugged state terrain.

The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the flat horizon of the 'Terceiro Planalto'. Keep an eye out for the distinct color shift in the soil from brown to deep red as you move further west toward Cascavel.
