Which side of the plane to sit from Afonso Pena Airport (Curitiba) to Ministro Pistarini International Airport (Buenos Aires)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a spectacular vantage point for the South Atlantic coastline, the sprawling lagoons of Southern Brazil, and a scenic approach over the Uruguayan coast and the massive Río de la Plata.
Santa Catarina Coastline
Aerial views of the rugged coastline and the island of Florianópolis shortly after departure.
Lagoa dos Patos
The massive coastal lagoon in Rio Grande do Sul, stretching towards the horizon.
Punta del Este
The famous Uruguayan peninsula resort known for its high-rise skyline and beaches.
Montevideo Skyline
A clear view of the Uruguayan capital's port and bay as the flight begins its descent.
Río de la Plata
Crossing the world's widest estuary, noting the distinct brown silt-heavy waters meeting the blue ocean.
For morning flights, the left side provides the best light as the sun rises over the Atlantic. This side is superior for seeing the coastal transition from Brazil to Uruguay. If the flight path hugs the coast, you will get a perfect view of the Montevideo harbor before landing at EZE.
Araucaria Plateaus
The unique 'Paraná Pine' forests surrounding Curitiba during the initial climb.
Serra Geral Mountains
Views of the dramatic escarpments and canyons of the southern Brazilian highlands.
The Pampas
The vast, flat agricultural heartland of Rio Grande do Sul and Northern Argentina.
Paraná River Delta
A complex network of islands and channels where the Paraná River enters the Río de la Plata.
Choose the right side for late afternoon flights to enjoy a stunning sunset over the South American interior. While less coastal, it offers a better view of the green delta geography near Buenos Aires during the final approach. Keep an eye out for the vast grid-like patterns of Argentine cattle ranches.
