Lagoa dos Patos
As you enter Rio Grande do Sul, the massive scale of the 'Lagoon of the Ducks' becomes visible, looking like an inland sea.
For the best lighting, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the coastline. Sit away from the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of Florianópolis. Look for the Hercílio Luz Bridge if the plane tracks slightly inland over the island.
