Serra do Mar
Dramatic views of the lush, Atlantic Forest-covered mountains that run parallel to the coast.
Serra Geral Escarpments
Stunning vertical cliffs and deep valleys where the inland plateau drops off toward the coastal plain.
Gaucho Highlands
The rolling hills and vineyard-covered landscapes characteristic of the Italian immigrant region near Caxias do Sul.
Sunset Horizons
On evening flights, this side provides a front-row seat to the sun setting over the vast interior of Southern Brazil.
The right side is superior for sunset flights. Keep your camera ready during the final 20 minutes of the flight; the approach to CXJ often involves flying over deep canyons and the 'Vale dos Vinhedos' region. Seasonal fog is common in the morning at CXJ, so afternoon flights generally offer the best visibility of the terrain.

São Paulo Skyline
Detailed views of the South Zone of São Paulo, including Ibirapuera Park and the dense skyscrapers of the Moema and Vila Olímpia neighborhoods.
Paranaguá Bay
On clear days, you can spot the intricate coastline and estuaries of Paraná state shimmering in the distance.
Congonhas Takeoff
A unique perspective of the 'urban canyon' takeoff typical of one of the world's most centrally located major airports.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct sun glare. Look for the distant coastline of Santa Catarina midway through the flight, especially the Ilha de Santa Catarina (Florianópolis) area if the sky is clear.
