Ilha de Santa Catarina
Spectacular views of Florianopolis’ northern beaches and lagoons immediately after takeoff.
Balneário Camboriú
The famous skyline of high-rise 'super-talls' along the coast, often referred to as the Dubai of Brazil.
Baía de Paranaguá
A massive estuarine complex with a maze of islands, mangroves, and deep water channels.
Ilha do Mel
A pristine, car-free ecological reserve island known for its iconic lighthouse and crescent beaches.
Santos Estuary
On the descent into GRU, you can often spot the Port of Santos, the largest container port in Latin America.
This is the premier side for photography. Try to book a flight during the late afternoon to see the sun illuminate the coastline. Be alert immediately after takeoff from FLN, as the aircraft often performs a turn that provides a panoramic view of the entire island. On the approach to GRU, the right side usually provides a better view of the massive São Paulo metropolitan sprawl.

Serra do Mar Range
View the continuous chain of mountains covered in dense tropical rainforest that runs parallel to the coast.
Atlantic Forest Reserves
Expansive views of the Mata Atlântica, one of the most biodiverse and endangered biomes on the planet.

Glimpses of Joinville and the outskirts of Curitiba depending on the specific air corridor used by the pilot.
Choose this side if flying in the morning to avoid direct sun glare. It is the better option for travelers who prefer watching the play of clouds over the dramatic mountain peaks and valleys of the interior.
