Curitiba Skyline
A clear view of the Paraná state capital's dense high-rise architecture as the flight path passes just west of the city.
Serra do Mar
The lush, green slopes of the Atlantic Forest mountain range that separates the inland plateau from the coastline.
Aparados da Serra
Breathtaking views of the steep escarpments and canyons, such as Itaimbezinho, where the highlands drop off toward the sea.
Coastal Lagoons
On clear days, the massive freshwater lagoons of Rio Grande do Sul and the Atlantic coastline are visible in the distance.
Serra Gaúcha Valleys
The deep green valleys and terraced vineyards characteristic of the Caxias do Sul and Bento Gonçalves wine regions.
Choose a window seat behind the wing for unobstructed views of the canyons. For afternoon flights, the left side is ideal as it avoids the direct glare of the setting sun, allowing for better photography of the landscape's textures. Keep an eye out about 20 minutes before landing for the dramatic drop-off of the plateau.
