CWB → IGU
Which side of the plane to sit from Afonso Pena Airport (Curitiba) to Cataratas International Airport (Foz Do Iguacu)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of Curitiba's dense skyline upon departure and the massive scale of the Itaipu Dam and reservoir during the approach into Foz do Iguaçu.
Curitiba Skyline
Clear views of the urban core and high-rise buildings of the Paraná state capital shortly after takeoff.
Campos Gerais
The sweeping agricultural plains and unique geological formations of the second plateau of Paraná.
Itaipu Dam
A massive architectural feat visible during the descent, showcasing the colossal hydroelectric structure.
Triple Frontier
The junction where the Iguaçu and Paraná rivers meet, marking the borders of Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay.
Sit in front of the wing for the best view of the Itaipu Dam during descent. During evening flights, the sun sets over the Paraná River, creating a brilliant reflection on the water's surface.
Afonso Pena Greenery
Lush rural landscapes and Araucaria forest remnants surrounding the airport area in São José dos Pinhais.
Serra da Esperança
Rugged mountain ridges and steep escarpments near Guarapuava that define the transition between plateaus.
Iguaçu River Basin
Frequent views of the southern banks of the Iguaçu River as it winds through the interior of Paraná.
Keep an eye out for the river meanders about 30 minutes into the flight. For the best photography, morning flights are recommended to avoid direct solar glare when looking south.
