Which side of the plane to sit from Regional de Maringá - Sílvio Nane Junior Airport (Maringa) to Campo Grande Airport (Campo Grande)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the massive Porto Primavera reservoir and the dramatic confluence where the Ivaí River joins the Paraná River, marking the state boundary.
Paraná Heartland
Dense patchwork of highly productive agricultural land characterized by the famous 'Terra Roxa' fertile soil.
Ivaí River Mouth
The winding Ivaí River emptying into the Paraná, showing distinct water color differences during rainy periods.
Porto Primavera Reservoir
The massive expanse of water backed up by the hydroelectric dam, looking like a vast inland sea on the horizon.
Cerrado Transition
Notice the change in vegetation from Atlantic Forest remnants to the more open, scrubby Cerrado as you approach Campo Grande.
Campo Grande Arrival
Comprehensive views of the 'Morena City' skyline as the aircraft turns for final approach into CGR.
The best side for afternoon flights as the sun will be behind the aircraft, illuminating the river systems perfectly. The reservoir crossing is the visual highlight; ensure you are looking out approximately 25-30 minutes into the flight. Polarized lenses are recommended to cut through the water glint.
Maringá Urban Grid
Aerial view of the planned circular streets and the iconic Cathedral of Maringá immediately after departure.
Ilha Grande National Park
A sprawling archipelago of river islands and sandbanks visible during the crossing of the Rio Paraná.
Mato Grosso do Sul Red Earth
The distinct transition to the deep red soil and vast soybean plantations of the southern MS region.
Cattle Country
Large-scale ranching landscapes typical of the transition toward the Pantanal influence area.
Ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. This side provides a better angle for seeing the urban layout of Maringá upon takeoff. Keep an eye out for the white sand river beaches near Porto Rico if flying during the dry season (winter).
