Paranapanema River Valley
Winding waterways and hydroelectric reservoirs that define the southern border regions of São Paulo state.
Interior Cities
Aerial views of major regional centers such as Presidente Prudente and the Sorocaba region.
São Paulo Skyline
An incredible panorama of South America's largest city, featuring an endless sea of skyscrapers and dense urban density.
Serra do Mar Glimpse
On very clear days, the distant silhouette of the coastal mountain range can be seen to the south.
The right side is superior for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. The highlight is the final 10 to 15 minutes of the flight; if the approach path (STAR) brings the plane from the south, you will get a front-row seat to the massive São Paulo cityscape. Ensure your window is clean for photos of the high-rise clusters in the Tatuapé and Mooca districts.

A massive blue artery marking the transition from Mato Grosso do Sul into the state of São Paulo.
Campinas Urban Area
Views of the major technological and industrial hub of Campinas as the plane begins its initial descent.
Serra da Cantareira
The world's largest urban forest, providing a dense green canopy just north of the airport before landing.
Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise over the horizon. Watch for the Paraná River roughly 20 to 30 minutes after departure from Dourados. During the landing phase, keep your eyes peeled for the rugged green terrain of the Cantareira mountains which signal you are seconds from touchdown at GRU.
