Cerrado Mosaic
A patchwork of Brazilian savanna and intensive agricultural fields stretching across Mato Grosso and São Paulo states.
Campinas Metropolitan Area
Clear views of the sprawling urban center of Campinas, one of Brazil's major economic hubs.

Avenida Paulista District

Book an early morning flight for the best lighting conditions over the river systems. When approaching Congonhas, keep your camera ready for the 'urban canyon' effect as the plane descends very low over the city's high-rises. Avoid seats directly over the wing (usually rows 12-22) to maintain an unobstructed view of the ground landmarks.

The right side is ideal for afternoon or sunset flights to witness the 'Golden Hour' over the agricultural heartland of Brazil. During the approach to CGH, you will see the immense scale of the metropolitan periphery. Note that summer afternoon flights often encounter localized convective turbulence over the interior, so window views might be shaky.
