Which side of the plane to sit from Afonso Pena Airport (Curitiba) to Tancredo Thomas de Faria Airport (Guarapuava)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Curitiba skyline shortly after takeoff and provides a better angle to witness the dramatic geological transition of the Escarpa Devoniana.
Curitiba Skyline
A spectacular view of the dense urban center and the landmarks like the Oscar Niemeyer Museum during departure.
Escarpa Devoniana
The massive geological cliff face that marks the transition between the First and Second Plateaus of Paraná.
Campos Gerais
Vast agricultural mosaics showcasing the intensive farming of the Ponta Grossa region, changing colors by season.
Vila Velha Proximity
Depending on the specific flight path, the unique sandstone rock formations of Vila Velha State Park may be visible.
Third Plateau Ascent
The gradual climb towards the higher altitude of Guarapuava, offering wide perspectives of the central highlands.
The right side is ideal for morning flights as the sun illuminates the Escarpa Devoniana cliffs. Keep your camera ready within the first 10-15 minutes of the flight to capture the Curitiba city layout and the dramatic change in terrain elevation as you head west.
Araucária Forests
Dense clusters of the iconic Paraná Pine, the state's symbol, scattered across the undulating landscape.
Historic Lapa
A distant view of one of Paraná's oldest cities, known for its colonial architecture and role in the Federalist Revolution.
Iguaçu River Basin
Aerial view of the upper reaches of the Iguaçu River as it meanders through the First and Second Plateaus.
Southern Rail Lines
Visual of the historic freight railway tracks that parallel the route, cutting through deep green valleys.
Sit on the left if you are flying in the late afternoon to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side offers excellent views of the deep green valleys of the southern highlands and the characteristic 'pinhais' forests that define the region's ecology.
