Our Recommendation
7.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the transition between the Chapada mountains and the northern reaches of the Pantanal wetlands shortly after takeoff, followed by a spectacular crossing of the Paraná River reservoir system.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🐊

Pantanal North

Glimpses of the world's largest tropical wetland mosaic to the southwest during the initial climb.

⛰️

Serra de São Vicente

Dramatic rocky escarpments and red-soil cliffs that mark the edge of the Chapada plateau.

🚢

Ilha Solteira Reservoir

A massive expanse of deep blue water at the confluence of the Paranaíba and Grande rivers.

⚡

Hydroelectric Infrastructure

Visible dams and massive power distribution networks feeding the São Paulo state grid.

🚜

São Paulo Citrus Belt

Transition into dense orange groves and sugarcane fields characteristic of the Northwest SP region.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to catch the golden hour reflections over the Paraná River. Look out early in the flight for the red earth cliffs of the Serra; the contrast with the green vegetation is most vivid in the rainy season (October-March).

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🏙️

Cuiabá Urban Landscape

Aerial view of the Mato Grosso capital and the Arena Pantanal stadium immediately after departure.

🌾

Agribusiness Heartland

Infinite geometric patterns of soybean and corn plantations that define the southern Mato Grosso economy.

💧

Rio Vermelho

A winding, silt-heavy river snaking through the landscape near the city of Rondonópolis.

🌊

Rio Paranaíba Border

The scenic water border where Mato Grosso do Sul meets the Triângulo Mineiro and São Paulo states.

🏘️

Mirassol Suburbs

Detailed views of the residential clusters and industrial parks leading into the São José do Rio Preto metropolitan area.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh tropical sun glare. This side is better for observing the sheer scale of Brazilian industrial farming and the northern edges of the Paraná river basin.
