AGTGRU

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a chance to spot the mist of the Iguazu Falls shortly after takeoff, followed by the dense Atlantic Forest and the dramatic Serra do Mar mountains upon arrival in the São Paulo region.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
💦

Iguazu Falls

While not directly overhead, the massive mist columns of the falls are often visible to the south shortly after leaving AGT.

🌳

Iguaçu National Park

Fly over one of the largest remaining tracts of Atlantic Forest, appearing as a deep green carpet below.

🏢

Curitiba Skyline

The route often passes near the capital of Paraná, offering a view of its organized urban grid and parks.

⛰️

Serra do Mar

View the rugged, cloud-shrouded peaks of the coastal mountain range as you approach the São Paulo plateau.

🛬

São Paulo Urban Sprawl

Experience the sheer scale of South America's largest city as you bank for your final approach into Guarulhos.

The right side is generally more scenic for this route. Sit here for a potential distant view of the Iguazu Falls immediately after takeoff. For evening flights, this side offers beautiful sunset colors over the Serra do Mar mountains as you approach São Paulo.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌊

Paraná River

Cross the international border and see the massive river that divides Paraguay from Brazil immediately after takeoff.

⚡

Itaipu Dam

Look north for a glimpse of the world's second-largest hydroelectric dam and its sprawling reservoir.

🚜

Red Earth Plains

Observe the characteristic 'Terra Roxa' soil and the vast agricultural heartland of Paraná state below.

🏙️

Atibaia Reservoir

As the plane descends towards GRU, the left side often overlooks the northern reservoirs and hills near the airport.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side provides the best view of the Itaipu reservoir and the industrial outskirts of northern São Paulo during the final descent.
