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

Our Recommendation
7.2

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side offers a superior perspective of the deep river valleys and the expansive reservoir systems of the Uruguay River as you cross the state border from Santa Catarina into Rio Grande do Sul.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🛶

Rio do Peixe Canyon

Follow the winding path of the river as it carves through the rugged terrain of western Santa Catarina.

💧

Itá Reservoir

Glimpse the vast waters of the Itá Dam reservoir reflecting the sky near the state border.

🌉

Uruguay River Border

The dramatic geographic boundary between Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul states.

⛲

Erechim Radial Streets

A unique aerial view of Erechim's city center, famous for its radial urban planning inspired by Paris.

The right side is ideal for spotting the massive water bodies of the hydroelectric dams. For the best experience, choose a morning flight to have the landscape illuminated by the eastern sun without direct glare. The flight is very short, so stay alert for the river crossing which occurs midway.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🏙️

Joaçaba & Herval d'Oeste

Immediate views of the twin cities separated by the Rio do Peixe right after takeoff.

🚜

Agro-Industrial Plateau

Dense mosaic of soybean fields and massive poultry processing facilities typical of the region.

🌊

Upper Uruguay River

A broad view of the river snaking through the hills toward the eastern highlands.

On the left, you will have the sun behind you if flying in the late afternoon, providing excellent clarity for photography of the agricultural landscape. Keep an eye out for the small rural settlements that dot the ridges of the basaltic plateau.
