Which side of the plane to sit from Governador José Richa Airport (Londrina) to Salgado Filho Airport (Porto Alegre)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the dramatic Serra Geral escarpments, the lush Atlantic Forest, and the expansive Lagoa dos Patos during the approach into Porto Alegre.
Serra Geral Canyons
Dramatic cliffs and deep valleys of the Aparados da Serra National Park as you cross into Rio Grande do Sul.
Atlantic Forest Biosphere
Dense, high-altitude tropical forests covering the rugged terrain of eastern Santa Catarina.
Lagoa dos Patos
The northern tip of one of the largest lagoon systems in the world, visible as the plane descends.
Caxias do Sul
Views of the largest city in the mountainous Serra Gaúcha region, known for its vineyards.
Porto Alegre Skyline
Panoramic views of the capital city and the Guaíba Lake on the final approach path.
Book a window seat in front of or well behind the wing for unobstructed views of the canyons. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the eastern cliffs of the Serra Geral, providing better depth for photography.
Paraná Agricultural Heartland
Vast, organized patterns of soy and corn plantations stretching across the northern plateau.
Uruguay River Basin
The winding river marking the natural border between the states of Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul.
Gaucho Pampas
The transition from highland plateaus to the rolling green grasslands characteristic of the southern interior.
Inland Sunset
On late afternoon flights, this side provides spectacular views of the sun setting over the continent.
Choose this side if you are flying late in the day to enjoy the sunset. While less dramatic than the canyons on the left, it offers a great perspective of the vastness of the Brazilian southern interior and the Uruguay River crossing.
