Which side of the plane to sit from Carrasco International /General C L Berisso Airport (Montevideo) to Afonso Pena Airport (Curitiba)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular vantage point of the South Atlantic coastline, including the trendy beaches of Uruguay, the massive Lagoa dos Patos, and the dramatic Santa Catarina islands.
Punta del Este
A clear view of the iconic peninsula and the transition from the Rio de la Plata to the Atlantic Ocean.
Lagoa dos Patos
Flight path follows the narrow sandspit separating this enormous lagoon from the Atlantic Ocean.
Florianópolis Island
Stunning views of the Ilha de Santa Catarina, including its famous lagoons and white sand beaches.
Balneário Camboriú
The impressive skyline of 'Brazil's Dubai' with its massive skyscrapers right on the water's edge.
Serra do Mar Descent
A scenic approach over the lush, cloud-covered mountains as the plane maneuvers toward Curitiba's plateau.
Book a window on the right for morning flights to see the sun rising over the Atlantic. The descent into Curitiba is particularly beautiful on this side as the plane turns inland, often providing views of the coastal rainforest before landing at CWB.
Uruguayan Pampa
Rolling green hills and vast agricultural plains characteristic of rural Uruguay shortly after takeoff.
Lagoa Mirim
Aerial view of the western shores of the second-largest lake in South America, marking the border with Brazil.
Porto Alegre Vicinity
Possible views of the Guaíba River delta and the urban sprawl of Rio Grande do Sul's capital.
Serra Geral Mountains
The dramatic transition from the coast to the interior plateaus, featuring dense Atlantic Forest and deep valleys.
The left side is preferable for sunset flights to avoid direct glare while still capturing the warm glow over the Serra Geral. Watch for the terrain elevation change as you approach the Paranaense plateau near the end of the flight.
