CGH → CGB
Which side of the plane to sit from Congonhas Airport (Sao Paulo) to Marechal Rondon Airport (Cuiaba)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior for this route as it offers the iconic view of the Chapada dos Guimarães red cliffs during the descent into Cuiabá, alongside a better perspective of the winding Tietê River system.
Paulista Avenue Skyline
A striking view of the financial district's skyscrapers and TV towers if the flight departs towards the north.
Tietê River Meanders
Observe the massive river winding through the interior of São Paulo state, serving as a primary geographic landmark.
Chapada dos Guimarães
The dramatic red sandstone escarpments and plateau of the National Park are often visible on the final approach to CGB.
The right side is the 'photographer's choice' for the arrival in Cuiabá. Request a seat toward the front to ensure the wing doesn't block the view of the Chapada mountains. Morning flights offer the best lighting for the sandstone cliffs.
Morumbi and Interlagos
Detailed views of São Paulo's southern districts and the Interlagos racing circuit immediately after takeoff.
Paranapanema Basin
Large hydroelectric reservoirs and lush agricultural borders between São Paulo and Paraná states.
Pantanal Fringe
As you approach Mato Grosso, the landscape shifts to the vast, flooded plains characteristic of the northern Pantanal edge.
Sit on the left side during evening flights to avoid the direct afternoon sun glare. This side provides a great view of the urban sprawl of São Paulo's South Zone during departures from Runway 17.
