Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers spectacular views of the Atlantic coastline, the iconic beaches of Uruguay, and the dramatic lush green mountains of the Serra do Mar during the approach to Sao Paulo.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Rio de la Plata Estuary

The massive, wide mouth of the river where the brown river water meets the blue Atlantic Ocean.

🏖️

Punta del Este

The famous Uruguayan peninsula known for its high-rise skyline and white sand beaches visible from altitude.

🏝️

Santa Catarina Coastline

Frequent views of the rugged coastline and islands near Florianopolis depending on the specific airway.

🚢

Port of Santos

One of the world's busiest ports, often visible during the descent and turn towards the airport.

🌳

Ilhabela State Park

The dramatic, mountainous silhouette of the island of Ilhabela rising out of the turquoise coastal waters.

Choose the right side for the most scenic descent. The descent into GRU often involves a loop over the Atlantic or the coastal mountains, providing bird's-eye views of the Brazilian coastline. For evening flights, you may catch the reflection of the sunset on the ocean. Be aware that clouds often form over the Serra do Mar in the afternoon.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Greater Buenos Aires

A sprawling view of the Argentine capital's suburban landscape and the Tigre Delta shortly after takeoff.

🌾

Uruguayan Pampas

Vast, rolling green plains and agricultural mosaics that dominate the landscape of inland Uruguay.

⛰️

Serra do Mar Plateau

Dense Atlantic rainforest-covered mountains as the aircraft maneuvers toward the high plateau of Sao Paulo.

🌆

Sao Paulo Suburbs

The massive urban density of the Guarulhos and eastern Sao Paulo metropolitan area during final approach.

Sit here on morning flights to avoid the harsh eastern sun. Watch for the distinct transition from the brown silty waters of the Rio de la Plata to the deep blue Atlantic. On clear days, the inland view provides a great perspective of the vast Brazilian agricultural heartland before reaching the mountains.
