Baía de Paranaguá
A vast estuarine complex featuring the beautiful Ilha do Mel and the bustling port of Paranaguá.
Babitonga Bay
The historic waters surrounding São Francisco do Sul, one of the oldest settlements in Brazil.
North Shore Beaches

Ilha do Campeche
On final approach, look for this crystal-clear water island often called the 'Brazilian Caribbean'.
For morning flights, expect bright sunlight; wear sunglasses to enjoy the turquoise water views. This side is superior for photography during the 'Golden Hour' before sunset when the coast is bathed in warm light. If the aircraft approaches from the north, you will see the entire length of the island's eastern beaches.

Serra do Mar
Continuous views of the dense Atlantic Forest mountain ranges that run parallel to the coast.
Joinville
The largest city in Santa Catarina, recognizable by its industrial parks and mountain backdrop.
Serra Geral Plateaus
In the distance, the rising edges of the Santa Catarina highlands are visible on clear days.
Hercílio Luz Bridge
The iconic suspension bridge connecting the island to the mainland is often visible during the final turn.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct glare. It offers a more rugged, mountainous perspective. Look out for the 'Serra do Tabuleiro' state park during descent, which features some of the highest peaks in the region. During winter months, the clarity of the air often allows for views deep into the interior plateaus.
