LDB → CGB
Which side of the plane to sit from Governador José Richa Airport (Londrina) to Marechal Rondon Airport (Cuiaba)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is significantly more scenic during the descent into Cuiabá, offering a spectacular view of the Chapada dos Guimarães red rock formations and better lighting for afternoon flights.
Londrina Skyline
Excellent views of 'Little London' and its dense urban center immediately after takeoff from LDB.
Serra da Alegria
Undulating hilly terrain and rocky outcrops in the central part of the flight over Mato Grosso do Sul.
Chapada dos Guimarães
The iconic orange and red sandstone cliffs of the national park are clearly visible during the approach to CGB.
Cuiabá River Meanders
The winding curves of the Rio Cuiabá as it snakes through the valley toward the city center.
This is the preferred side for afternoon flights to avoid the sun's glare. The Chapada dos Guimarães is the highlight of the trip; look for it roughly 15 minutes before landing. In the dry season (June–September), the sunset colors reflecting off the cliffs are breathtaking.
Rio Paraná Crossing
A massive view of one of South America's longest rivers as you cross from Paraná into Mato Grosso do Sul.
Agricultural Heartland
The vast, geometric patchworks of soy and corn plantations that define the economy of the Center-West region.
Pantanal Fringes
As the plane descends, look for the intricate water networks and marshlands that signal the edge of the Pantanal biome.
Morning flights provide the best lighting for this side. Keep an eye out for the Ilha Grande National Park area when crossing the Paraná River. This side is ideal for spotting the transition from the red soils of the south to the more tropical wetlands of the north.
