JCBCFC

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

Our Recommendation
7.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior view of the winding Rio do Peixe and the steep urban topography of Joaçaba immediately after takeoff.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Joaçaba Center

A bird's-eye view of the dense vertical architecture packed into the narrow river valley.

🐍

Rio do Peixe Meanders

The dramatic, snake-like curves of the river as it carves through the rugged terrain.

🌉

Emancipação Bridge

The main structural link connecting the two hillside cities visible during the initial climb.

🚜

Agro-Mosaic

A patchwork of diverse crop fields and vineyards characteristic of the Mid-West region.

The right side is ideal for morning flights as the sun illuminates the valley walls. Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff from JCB, as the most dramatic urban views pass quickly on this very short flight.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🏘️

Herval d'Oeste

View of Joaçaba's twin city located on the opposite bank of the Rio do Peixe.

🏔️

Serra Geral Slopes

The undulating terrain of the Catarinense highlands stretching toward the western horizon.

🌲

Araucaria Forests

Dense pockets of the iconic Brazilian pine trees native to this high-altitude region.

Sit on the left if flying in the late afternoon to enjoy the golden hour lighting over the rural landscapes, but be aware of sun glare during the short northward hop.
