Which side of the plane to sit from Ingeniero Ambrosio Taravella Airport (Cordoba) to Guarulhos - Governador André Franco Montoro International Airport (Sao Paulo)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panoramic view of the Atlantic coastline, the dramatic Serra do Mar mountain range, and the breathtaking urban sprawl of Sao Paulo during the final descent.
Uruguay River Border
The natural border between Argentina and Brazil, characterized by deep blue waters and agricultural mosaics.
Serra do Mar
The stunning coastal mountain range covered in dense rainforest that separates the plateau from the ocean.
Baixada Santista
On specific flight paths, the Port of Santos and the Atlantic coastline are visible in the distance to the south.
Sao Paulo Skyline
An incredible view of the endless sea of skyscrapers that makes up the heart of South America's largest metropolis.
GRU Approach
A direct view of the airport's layout as the plane banks for its final alignment with the runway.
The right side is the 'money side' for the descent into Sao Paulo. For the best photography, aim for a late afternoon flight when the sun illuminates the glass skyscrapers of the city. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Serra do Mar, as the contrast between the green mountains and the concrete jungle is spectacular.
Laguna Mar Chiquita
One of the largest salt lakes in the world, visible shortly after departing Cordoba to the northeast.
Paraná River System
The massive, winding brown waters and intricate islands of the Paraná River near Santa Fe.
Mata Atlântica Biosphere
Lush green corridors of the Atlantic Forest as the flight crosses into southern Brazil.
Guarulhos Northern Suburbs
Dense residential districts and the Serra da Cantareira forest just before landing.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you and avoid intense glare over the Argentine Pampas. This side provides a better view of the massive wetlands and river systems that define the border regions between Argentina, Uruguay, and Brazil.
