Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers spectacular views of the dramatic Serra Geral canyons immediately after takeoff from Caxias do Sul, followed by the lush greenery of the Serra do Mar and the urban sprawl of Curitiba.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Aparados da Serra

Breathtaking views of the deep canyons and steep escarpments that define the edge of the southern plateau.

🌲

Araucaria Forests

Frequent sightings of the iconic, umbrella-shaped Paraná Pine trees dotting the highland landscape.

🏙️

Curitiba Skyline

A clear view of the high-rise urban sprawl and organized city layout of Paraná's capital during the cruise phase.

⛰️

Serra do Mar

Dramatic views of the coastal mountain range covered in dense Atlantic Rainforest as the flight heads north.

✈️

Viracopos Approach

A detailed perspective of the industrial and logistical hubs of the Campinas metropolitan area during descent.

Sit on the right for the most dramatic topography. Shortly after takeoff from CXJ, look out for the edge of the plateau where the land drops into deep canyons. During the descent into VCP, this side provides the best view of the interior São Paulo landscape. Morning flights on this side may experience significant sunlight; use a window shade if necessary.

🍇

Serra Gaúcha Vineyards

Initial view of the rolling hills and the high-altitude wine-producing regions surrounding Caxias do Sul.

🌾

Agricultural Heartlands

Extensive views of the plateau farms and crop patterns in northern Rio Grande do Sul and western Paraná.

🌇

Interior Horizons

Magnificent sunset views over the vast Brazilian hinterland during late afternoon flights.

🌊

Paraná River Basin

Views of the distant river systems and tributaries that feed into the massive Paraná basin.

Choose this side for late afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset without the direct glare of the sun reflecting off the wing. It is the quieter side for those preferring views of vast, organized agricultural landscapes and the rolling plateaus of the interior.
