Our Recommendation
7.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a superior view of the dramatic Escarpa Devoniana and the sprawling metropolitan landscape of Curitiba during the final descent.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🚜

Terra Roxa Fields

Vast agricultural mosaics showcasing the famous deep red soil characteristic of Northern Paraná.

🏙️

Apucarana & Londrina

Distant views of the major urban centers of the north as the flight heads southeast.

⛰️

Escarpa Devoniana

The geological step-up between the second and first plateaus of Paraná, creating dramatic terrain shifts.

🏢

Curitiba Skyline

A clear view of the dense high-rises and urban planning of the state capital during the landing circuit.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh western sun. This side is particularly rewarding as you cross the Escarpa Devoniana; the sudden change in elevation and vegetation is highly visible. During the approach to CWB, you will likely see the expansive Barigui Park and downtown Curitiba if landing from the north.

Right Side Highlights
6.8
🌊

Ivaí River Basin

Views of the winding Ivaí river and its tributaries cutting through the central plateau.

🌲

Araucaria Forests

Clusters of the iconic Parana Pine (Araucaria angustifolia) become visible as the altitude rises towards Curitiba.

🗿

Ponta Grossa Plateau

The high altitude plains of the Campos Gerais region, often featuring unique rock outcrops in the distance.

🏭

São José dos Pinhais

The industrial and automotive hub surrounding the airport during the final seconds of the flight.

The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the inland plateau. Keep your eyes peeled for the distinct umbrella-shaped silhouettes of Araucaria trees as the plane descends into the cooler, higher-altitude climate of the Curitiba region.
