Serra do Mar
The dramatic descent from the Curitiba plateau into the lush, cloud-covered Atlantic Forest mountains.
Joinville
A view of the largest city in Santa Catarina, located at the base of the mountains near the coast.
Itajaí Valley
The rolling green hills and industrial heartland of the valley leading toward the interior of the state.
Hercílio Luz Bridge
If approaching from the north over the bay, you might spot the iconic historic suspension bridge connecting the island to the mainland.
The right side is ideal for sunset flights, as the sun dips behind the Serra do Mar mountains, creating a silhouette effect. It offers a better view of the dense Atlantic Forest and the industrial geography of Joinville. During the approach, keep an eye out for the bridges of Florianópolis.
