Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a consistent and breathtaking view of the South Atlantic coastline, the island of Florianópolis, and the massive lagoon systems of Southern Brazil, ending with a coastal view of Montevideo.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🌊

Santa Catarina Coastline

Detailed views of the rugged cliffs and turquoise bays of the southern Brazilian coast.

🏝️

Florianópolis Island

A stunning aerial perspective of the island of Santa Catarina and its famous bridge systems.

🧿

Lagoa dos Patos

The vast expanse of the largest lagoon in South America, stretching toward the horizon.

🚢

Rio de la Plata Transition

The distinct line where the silty brown river water meets the blue Atlantic Ocean.

🏙️

Montevideo Waterfront

A panoramic view of the Rambla and the city's coastal architecture during the descent.

For the best lighting, opt for a morning flight to have the sun behind the plane, illuminating the coastline perfectly. This side is significantly more scenic during the middle 60% of the flight as you track the shore of Rio Grande do Sul. Ensure you are seated well clear of the wing for the best view of the Lagoa dos Patos.

Right Side Highlights
6.2
⛰️

Serra Geral Plateaus

Dramatic ridges and high-altitude plateaus visible shortly after departing the Curitiba area.

🌾

Uruguayan Gaucho Country

The endless green rolling hills and cattle pastures of the interior Uruguayan plains.

🌅

Continental Sunset

Unobstructed views of the sun setting over the South American interior on evening flights.

The right side is the preferred choice for late afternoon departures to enjoy the golden hour over the pampas. While less coastal, it offers a great perspective on the high-altitude terrain of the Brazilian south before descending into the flatter regions of Uruguay. Keep an eye out for the canyons of the Aparados da Serra early in the flight.
