What does the Curitiba to Lima flight path pass over?

The flight path crosses the Brazilian plateau, then enters the transition zone between the Atlantic forest region and the drier interior. Around midpoint (roughly over the Paraguay-Bolivia border region), you'll be at cruise altitude over relatively featureless terrain—sparse vegetation, scattered settlements, and occasional river valleys. The Paraná River system may be visible as a thin line in certain light conditions. As you approach Peru, the Andes begin to rise on the eastern horizon during descent, with the cordillera becoming increasingly prominent. The transition from Brazilian plateau to Andean foothills occurs gradually over the final 90 minutes of flight.
