Which side of the plane to sit from Salgado Filho Airport (Porto Alegre) to Erechim Airport (Erechim)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic transition from the lowlands of Porto Alegre to the elevated basaltic plateau, featuring the Serra Gaúcha foothills and large reservoirs.
Metropolitan Porto Alegre
A clear view of the city center, the airport complex, and major landmarks like the Arena do Grêmio.
Serra Gaúcha Foothills
The rising terrain to the east marks the beginning of the famous mountain region known for its canyons.
Hydroelectric Reservoirs
Large bodies of water like the Passo Real reservoir create a blue mosaic against the green landscape.
Araucaria Clusters
As you descend into Erechim, look for the unique umbrella-shaped Brazilian pines native to this altitude.
Sit on the right for morning flights to enjoy the soft light hitting the plateau's edge. This side offers a more varied landscape including mountains, water bodies, and the dense urban grid of Erechim upon arrival.
Guaíba Lake
Expansive views of the water system and the delta's intricate channels right after takeoff.
Agribusiness Heartland
Vast stretches of soy and wheat fields that change colors dramatically with the seasons.
Western Horizon
Unobstructed views of the sunset over the pampas if flying during the golden hour.
The left side is prime for evening flights to catch the sun setting over the water. Watch for the transition from urban sprawl to the quiet, rolling 'coxilhas' of the interior.
