BOG → GRU
Which side of the plane to sit from El Dorado International Airport (Bogota) to Guarulhos - Governador André Franco Montoro International Airport (Sao Paulo)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides provide an incredible look at the Amazon, the Right Side offers a more dramatic view of the high-altitude Andean Paramos upon departure and a better angle for the Parana River system during descent.
Search flights from BOG to GRU
Sumapaz Paramo
Views of the largest alpine tundra ecosystem in the world located just south of Bogota.
Meandering Rivers
Spectacular views of the serpentine, winding river paths typical of the deep Amazonian interior.
Parana River
A massive river system crossing that signals the approach into the Brazilian highlands.
Serra do Mar
The lush coastal mountain range that borders the Sao Paulo plateau near the end of the journey.
Choose a 'K' or 'L' window seat. If flying in the late afternoon, this side offers stunning sunset views over the Brazilian interior. Keep your camera ready about 45 minutes before landing to capture the dramatic contrast between the rural landscape and the massive Sao Paulo urban sprawl.

Dramatic views of the Andean peaks surrounding the Bogota savanna shortly after takeoff.
Amazon Rainforest
Hours of flight over the world's largest tropical rainforest with its characteristic deep green canopy.
Madeira River
Spotting one of the largest tributaries of the Amazon, often appearing as a muddy ribbon through the green.
Northern Sao Paulo
A vast urban expanse appearing as the flight enters the megalopolis's airspace.
Book an 'A' window seat for the best morning light. This side is particularly good for seeing the transition from the Andes to the Amazon basin. To avoid the glare of the sun on this southward/eastward route, the left side is generally cooler and better for photography during morning flights.
