Which side of the plane to sit from Viracopos International Airport (Campinas) to Lauro Kurtz Airport (Passo Fundo)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a more diverse landscape, featuring views of the Serra do Mar mountains, the Curitiba metropolitan skyline, and the deep valleys of the Pelotas River as you enter Rio Grande do Sul.
Curitiba Skyline
A clear view of the high-rise buildings and urban layout of the Paraná state capital.
Serra do Mar
Dramatic views of the coastal mountain range covered in dense Atlantic Forest.
Rio Pelotas Valley
The deep, winding river valley that marks the border between Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul.
Araucaria Forests
Patches of the iconic 'Pinheiro-do-Paraná' trees visible as the altitude increases over the southern plateau.
Sit on the left (A/B seats) to avoid direct glare during afternoon flights. On clear days, you may see the distant reflection of the Atlantic Ocean during the mid-flight segment near Paraná. Morning flights provide the best lighting for photography of the green mountain ranges.
São Paulo Agribusiness
Vast stretches of sugarcane and soy plantations characteristic of the interior of São Paulo state.
Paranapanema Reservoirs
Large hydroelectric dams and wide blue water bodies on the border of SP and PR.
Western Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the sunset on late afternoon flights heading south-southwest.
Gaucho Highlands
The rolling hills ('Coxilhas') and agricultural patchwork as the plane approaches Passo Fundo.
The right side (E/F seats) is the premier choice for sunset seekers on evening departures. Watch for the large reservoirs of the Paranapanema River about 20-30 minutes after takeoff from VCP. In winter, this side may experience more direct heat from the sun during midday.
