Brasilia Pilot Plan
A stunning view of the airplane-shaped city layout and the Esplanada dos Ministérios during the initial climb.
Lago Paranoá
The deep blue waters of the massive artificial lake that wraps around the eastern side of the Federal District.
Triângulo Mineiro
Vast agricultural landscapes and urban clusters of western Minas Gerais, including Uberlândia and Uberaba.
Serra do Japi
One of the few remaining areas of continuous Atlantic Forest in the state of São Paulo, visible during the descent.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the direct western sun. This side provides the best angle for the Brasilia skyline if the aircraft departs from runways 11L or 11R. Look out for the lush green mountains of Jundiaí just minutes before touching down in Campinas.
