Which side of the plane to sit from Afonso Pena Airport (Curitiba) to Regional de Maringá - Sílvio Nane Junior Airport (Maringa)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the Curitiba metropolitan area upon departure and, most importantly, the iconic cone-shaped Cathedral of Maringá during the final approach.
Curitiba Urban Vista
Panoramic views of Curitiba's dense skyline and the green expanses of Barigui and Tingui parks shortly after takeoff.
Vila Velha Formations
Look for the distinctive sandstone rock formations of Vila Velha State Park near Ponta Grossa.
Tibagi River Valley
The winding path of the Tibagi River as it carves through the undulating highlands of the Paraná plateau.
Maringá Cathedral
The Cathedral of Maringá, a massive 124-meter conical spire, is usually visible on the left during the final descent pattern.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see the Maringá Cathedral. For morning flights, this side will be shaded, providing better conditions for photography without glare. Look out for the 'Taças' (cup-shaped rocks) near Ponta Grossa approximately 15 minutes into the flight.
Serra do Mar Horizon
On clear days, the distant blue peaks of the Atlantic Forest coastal range are visible to the east during the initial climb.
Terra Roxa Fields
Vast agricultural mosaics showcasing the deep red 'Terra Roxa' soil, characteristic of Northern Paraná's fertile landscape.
Ponta Grossa Hub
A clear view of the city of Ponta Grossa, a major rail and road junction in the interior of the state.
Industrial North
The industrial clusters and sprawling soy and corn plantations between Apucarana and Maringá.
The right side is excellent for observing the transition from the high plateau to the agricultural heartland. On afternoon flights, be prepared for significant sun glare. Keep an eye out for the large reservoirs and dams located further north toward the São Paulo border.
