CGH → NVT
Which side of the plane to sit from Congonhas Airport (Sao Paulo) to Ministro Victor Konder International Airport (Navegantes)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a breathtaking perspective of the Brazilian coastline, featuring the intricate bay systems of Paraná and the famous beaches of the Santa Catarina shore during the final approach.
Baixada Santista
Shortly after takeoff, view the expansive beaches of Santos and Guarujá if the departure path follows the coastline.
Ilha Comprida & Cananéia
A long, narrow barrier island followed by the ecologically rich estuary system of the Lagamar region.
Baía de Paranaguá
A massive bay system in Paraná state, visible with its numerous small islands and the bustling Port of Paranaguá.
Ilha do Mel
The iconic honey-shaped island at the mouth of the Paranaguá Bay, famous for its lighthouse and pristine beaches.
Beto Carrero World
During the final descent into NVT, look for the colorful structures of Latin America's largest theme park in Penha.
For the best experience, book a morning flight to have the sun behind the aircraft, illuminating the blue waters of the Atlantic. The descent into Navegantes is particularly scenic on this side as the plane aligns with the coastline, offering views of the Itajai-Açu river mouth.
São Paulo Urban Sprawl
An incredible view of the dense skyscrapers and endless urban landscape of South America's largest city immediately after takeoff.
Serra do Mar
Dramatic views of the coastal mountain range covered in dense Atlantic Forest, with steep escarpments dropping toward the sea.
Atlantic Forest Reserves
Fly over some of the best-preserved stretches of tropical rainforest in Brazil, characterized by deep green valleys.
Joinville Region
As you move south, catch glimpses of the industrial hubs and the mountainous terrain surrounding Santa Catarina's largest city.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun over the ocean. It offers a more rugged, terrestrial view of the mountains. Keep an eye out for the rapid change in elevation as the plane transitions from the São Paulo plateau toward the coast.
