DOU → CGR
Which side of the plane to sit from Dourados Airport (Dourados) to Campo Grande Airport (Campo Grande)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the Serra de Maracaju escarpment and the vast transition zones leading toward the Pantanal wetlands.
Serra de Maracaju
The prominent basaltic plateau that divides the state, offering dramatic elevation changes and rocky outcrops.
Rio Brilhante
A winding river with dense gallery forests that cuts through the agricultural landscape below.
Pantanal Horizon
On clear days, the distant western horizon hints at the beginning of the world's largest tropical wetland area.
Native Forest Fragments
Pockets of Cerrado vegetation that contrast sharply with the surrounding industrial-scale agriculture.
Book an afternoon flight to see the sun illuminate the western face of the Serra de Maracaju cliffs. This side avoids direct sun glare during the northward morning climb. Watch for the sharp change in terrain color from red earth to deep green as you approach the hills.
Dourados Skyline
An excellent overview of the 'University City' layout and its grid-like urban planning immediately after takeoff.
Agricultural Mosaic
Expansive soybean, corn, and sugarcane plantations that create a giant patchwork quilt across the red soil.
BR-163 Corridor
The main economic artery of the region, visible as a long thread connecting the southern and central parts of the state.
CGR Approach
A clear view of the eastern suburbs of Campo Grande and the airport's infrastructure during the final descent.
The right side is best for morning flights to enjoy soft lighting over the fields without the afternoon sun. It provides a more intimate look at the massive scale of Brazilian agribusiness operations. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff for the best urban shots of Dourados.
