Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side is superior for its sweeping views of the coastline and the stunning Babitonga Bay during the descent into Joinville.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Metropolitan VCP

Views of Campinas and Indaiatuba industrial hubs shortly after takeoff.

⛰️

Serra do Mar

Dramatic views of the coastal mountain range covered in dense Atlantic Forest.

🏙️

Curitiba Horizon

The skyline of Paraná's capital is often visible to the east during the cruise phase.

🌊

Babitonga Bay

Aerial view of the massive estuary system and islands just before landing.

🚢

São Francisco do Sul

The historic port city can be seen across the bay during final approach.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh western sun. This side offers the best perspective of the water features and the complex coastline around Joinville. Watch for the 'sea of clouds' often trapped against the mountains.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🌳

Ribeira Valley

One of the largest preserved areas of Atlantic Forest in Brazil.

⛰️

Pico Paraná

Look for the highest peak in Southern Brazil rising above the surrounding range.

💧

Hydroelectric Reservoirs

Several large dams and water bodies dot the landscape in the highland region.

🌲

Highland Plateaus

Traditional Araucaria forest patches visible in the higher elevations of Paraná.

⛰️

Serra Dona Francisca

The winding mountain road and steep cliffs of the Joinville hinterland.

The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the inland mountains. It provides a more rugged, wilderness-focused view of the Serra do Mar's highest peaks and deepest valleys.
