Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side offers a superior perspective of the Cantareira forest shortly after takeoff and typically provides a better view of Cascavel's growing skyline during the landing approach.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🌳

Cantareira State Park

The massive green lung and Atlantic Forest reserve located just north of the São Paulo metropolitan area.

🏭

Interior Industrial Hubs

Views of secondary cities like Sorocaba and Bauru depending on the specific flight corridor used.

💧

Chavantes Dam

A prominent reservoir on the Paranapanema river with deep blue waters and intricate shorelines.

🚜

Terra Roxa Landscapes

The iconic deep-red fertile soil of western Paraná, often visible through the gaps in crop cycles.

🏙️

Cascavel Skyline

A prime view of the city center's high-rise buildings and the unique architecture of the Cathedral on final approach.

The Right Side is the best choice for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It is particularly recommended for the approach into Cascavel (CAC), as the aircraft usually patterns to provide a clear view of the city's downtown cluster before landing on Runway 15.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🏙️

São Paulo Megacity

An expansive view of the southern districts of Brazil's largest metropolis shortly after departure.

🌊

Paranapanema River

Crossing the major river that serves as the natural border between São Paulo and Paraná states.

🌽

Agricultural Tapestry

Massive geometric patterns of soybean and corn plantations stretching across the interior plateau.

🛣️

BR-277 Arteries

The main logistical highway of Paraná visible as it cuts through the landscape towards the west.

Choose the left side for morning flights (10:00 AM or earlier) to keep the sun behind you for better photography. This side is also excellent for seeing the sheer scale of the São Paulo urban sprawl during the initial climb.
