Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The Left Side provides a superior view of the massive Rio Paraná crossing and the industrial and agricultural heartland of São Paulo state, including major river systems and hydroelectric infrastructure.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🌊

Rio Paraná Crossing

Witness the immense width of the Paraná River, the natural border between Mato Grosso do Sul and São Paulo.

🏗️

Porto Primavera Dam

A clear view of the massive hydroelectric dam and its expansive reservoir shortly after leaving MS airspace.

🌾

Agricultural Heartland

Endless patterns of sugarcane and soy plantations that characterize the rich landscape of interior São Paulo.

🏙️

Bauru & Araraquara

Distant views of major regional urban centers as the flight progresses toward the state's center.

🚜

Tietê-Paraná Waterway

Segments of the vital industrial waterway used for transporting goods across the continent.

Sit on the left for the best views of the Paraná River dams. During morning flights, be aware that the sun will be positioned to the north/northeast, which may cause some glare; afternoon flights offer much better lighting for photography of the river systems.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🛶

Rio Paranapanema

Views of the winding river that forms the southern border of São Paulo state with Paraná.

💧

Jurumirim Reservoir

A vast and beautiful blue water body near Avaré, often visible during the mid-portion of the flight.

⛰️

Cuesta de Botucatu

Distinctive basaltic plateaus and sudden drops in elevation that create a unique 'cuesta' topography.

🏘️

Sorocaba Region

The dense urban sprawl and industrial clusters of the Sorocaba metropolitan area during the descent.

Choose the right side for softer, indirect light during midday flights. This side is particularly scenic during the descent into VCP, as it often passes over the hilly terrain and reservoirs of the southern interior before aligning with the runway.
