Which side of the plane to sit from Erechim Airport (Erechim) to Santa Terezinha Airport (Joacaba)?

Our Recommendation
7.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides the most scenic experience by showcasing the transition between states and the expansive valley of the Uruguay River.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

North Erechim

Direct views of the planned urban layout and northern industrial districts of Erechim upon departure.

🌊

Uruguay River Valley

The most significant geographic feature of the route, marking the border between Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina.

⚡

Itá Reservoir View

Distant glimpses of the shimmering waters from the hydroelectric dam upstream on the Uruguay River.

🌄

Santa Catarina Plateau

Observation of the rising elevation and increasingly rugged terrain as the aircraft enters Santa Catarina state.

Book a morning flight to catch the sunrise reflecting off the Uruguay River. This side is also better for spotting the contrast in vegetation between the agricultural lands and the remaining Atlantic Forest patches along the river banks.

Right Side Highlights
6.8
🏘️

Erechim Radial Center

Excellent view of the city's unique geometric street design, modeled after Paris, during the climb out.

🚜

Agricultural Patchwork

Vibrant displays of soy and corn plantations that create a colorful mosaic across the rolling hills.

🛤️

Interior Roadways

The winding red-clay roads typical of the region, connecting isolated farmsteads and small rural communities.

🛬

Joaçaba Basin

The final descent offers views of the Rio do Peixe valley and the twin cities of Joaçaba and Herval d'Oeste.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights when the sun is behind the aircraft, illuminating the green and gold colors of the fields. Be sure to look down immediately after takeoff to see the central plaza of Erechim.
