Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers the most iconic views of the Porto Alegre waterfront and the complex river systems that define the geography of central Rio Grande do Sul.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Porto Alegre Waterfront

A stunning view of the Guaiba lakefront, featuring the Usina do Gasometro and the revitalized urban parks during takeoff.

🛶

Jacui River Meanders

Intricate and winding river loops cutting through the central depression, creating beautiful silver patterns on the landscape.

🌾

Rice Paddies

Vast, geometric flooded fields characteristic of the lowland agriculture between Porto Alegre and Santa Maria.

🚜

Pampa Landscapes

The transition into the rolling green hills and traditional cattle ranching territories of the gaúcho interior.

Morning flights are highly recommended to capture the reflection of the sun on the Guaiba and Jacui rivers without harsh glare. Sit behind the wing for an unobstructed view of the urban landscape as the plane banks west.

Right Side Highlights
7.3
🏝️

Jacui Delta

An impressive view of the 'Parque Estadual Delta do Jacuí' with its lush green islands and hidden water channels.

🏭

Metropolitan Industrial Belt

The sprawling industrial zones of Canoas and the surrounding cities that form the capital's economic engine.

⛰️

Serra Geral Horizon

On clear days, the distant rising slopes of the basaltic plateau provide a majestic blue silhouette to the north.

🛑

Mission Region Red Soil

As you approach Santa Rosa, the earth turns a distinct deep red, signifying the fertile volcanic soil of the Missions region.

The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the western plains. Watch for the soil color change from brown to deep red as the flight progresses past Cruz Alta.
