Uruguay River Basin
The dramatic, winding curves of the Uruguay River, which forms the border between Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul, are visible shortly after takeoff.
Araucária Forests
Stunning clusters of the iconic Brazilian pine (Araucaria angustifolia) scattered across the highland plateaus.
Serra Geral Foothills
To the south, the beginning of the Serra do Mar and Serra Geral ranges create a rugged, misty horizon.
Curitiba Skyline
On final descent into CWB, this side typically offers a grand view of the dense high-rise clusters of the Batel and Centro neighborhoods.
The right side is best for landscape photographers. For the most dramatic lighting on the Uruguay River, choose a late afternoon flight. During approach into CWB, keep your camera ready for the dense urban skyline of the 'Capital Ecológica'.
