Our Recommendation
7.8

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.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

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.

Right Side Highlights
6.5
🚜

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.
