Search flights from CGH to JTC
Sao Paulo Downtown
A sprawling view of the historic center, including the iconic Altino Arantes building and the dense urban forest of towers.
Serra da Cantareira
The massive green belt to the north of the city, representing one of the world's largest urban forests.
Tietê River Path
The route often parallels the winding Tietê River as it flows into the interior, showing its transformation from an urban canal to a wide waterway.
Botucatu Cuesta
Dramatic basaltic cliffs and steep escarpments near Botucatu that provide the most scenic topographical relief on the route.
The Right Side is the clear winner for landmark spotting. Try to book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Botucatu Cuesta and the river clearly. The descent into Bauru often provides a wide sweep of the city's residential layout, so have your camera ready as altitude drops below 10,000 feet.

West Zone Skyline
Views of the Pinheiros river area and the high-end residential skyscrapers of the Morumbi and Itaim Bibi districts.
Serra do Japi
A large area of preserved Atlantic Forest near Jundiaí, standing out as a lush green island amidst urban development.
Red Soil Plantations
The transition into the interior reveals the characteristic 'Terra Roxa' (red soil) of Sao Paulo, patterned with vast sugar cane fields.
If flying in the late afternoon, the left side is ideal for catching the sunset over the interior plateau. Sit behind the wing to avoid engine glare. Keep an eye out for the distinct red earth that defines this agricultural heartland.
