Right Side Highlights

⛰️

El Ávila National Park

The stunning mountain wall that separates the city of Caracas from the Caribbean Sea.

🐍

Amazon River

A breathtaking view of the world's largest river as it meanders through the dense jungle.

🚜

Cerrado Landscapes

Observe the unique agricultural patterns and red-earth plateaus of central Brazil's Mato Grosso region.

🌄

Serra da Mantiqueira

The lush, rolling mountain ranges of southeastern Brazil visible during the descent into the Sao Paulo area.

The right side is perfect for afternoon flights to capture the sunset over the Amazon. Keep your camera ready about 2-3 hours into the flight for the Amazon River crossing. During landing at GRU, the right side often provides a more iconic view of the Sao Paulo metropolis.

Caribbean Coastline

Immediate views of the turquoise Caribbean Sea and the port of La Guaira during the initial climb.

Orinoco River Basin

Glimpse the vast network of rivers that define the southern Venezuelan wilderness.

Sao Paulo Urban Edge

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct glare and enjoy the sunrise reflecting off the Amazonian tributaries. It is also ideal for seeing the coastal contours of Venezuela shortly after departure.
