Which side of the plane to sit from Afonso Pena Airport (Curitiba) to Caçador Airport (Cacador)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the transition from the Curitiba plateau into the rugged, pine-dense highlands of northern Santa Catarina, featuring better lighting for morning flights.
Metropolitan Fringe
Detailed views of the São José dos Pinhais industrial districts and the southern edge of Curitiba during climb.
Vossoroca Reservoir
A stunning view of the blue water reservoir tucked into the coastal mountains south of the city.
Araucaria Groves
Vast expanses of the iconic 'Parana Pine' trees which become increasingly dense near the state border.
Serra da Esperança
The undulating mountain ridges that mark the descent from the first to the second plateau.
For morning flights, the left side provides excellent illumination of the landscape without the sun's glare. Watch closely about 15 minutes after takeoff to spot the distinctive umbrella-shaped canopy of the Araucaria forests.
Curitiba Skyline
A distant but panoramic view of the dense skyscraper clusters of the capital city during initial ascent.
Red Earth Farms
The characteristic deep-red soil of the region's agricultural fields, organized in geometric patchworks.
Rodovia do Xisto
The major transport arteries like BR-476 winding through the rural landscape toward the interior.
The right side is preferable for afternoon flights to avoid the direct western sun. It offers a broader perspective of the agricultural development and the vast interior plateaus of the Southern region.
