Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a consistent view of the spectacular coastline of Santa Catarina and the vast lagoon systems near Porto Alegre.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Balneário Camboriú

Famous for its massive skyscrapers and curved shoreline along the Atlantic.

🏝️

Florianópolis Island

Depending on the path, the aircraft often flies just west of the island, offering views of the bridges and beaches.

🦢

Lagoa dos Patos

One of the largest lagoon systems in South America, stretching towards the southern horizon.

🌊

Laguna and Imbituba

Beautiful coastal formations and lighthouse areas visible during the mid-flight segment.

Book the left side for early morning departures to enjoy the sunrise over the ocean. This side offers the best perspective of the coastal lagoons during the final 20 minutes of the flight.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
⛰️

Serra do Mar

Dense Atlantic Forest covering the steep mountain ranges just south of Curitiba.

🧗

Aparados da Serra

The dramatic vertical cliffs of the Itaimbezinho and Fortaleza canyons on the SC/RS border.

🌲

Southern Highlands

Rolling plateaus and Araucaria forests typical of the interior regions of Santa Catarina.

🌅

Guaíba River

The wide delta and river system that defines the Porto Alegre landscape during the landing.

The right side is perfect for afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight. Look for the canyons about 40 minutes into the flight; they are most dramatic in clear weather without cloud cover in the highlands.
