Guanabara Bay
Stunning aerial views of the bay's islands and the bridge connecting Rio to Niterói shortly after takeoff.
South Zone Beaches
On specific departure patterns, catch a glimpse of the famous Copacabana and Ipanema coastlines.
Serra do Mar
Dramatic views of the coastal mountain range covered in dense Atlantic Forest as you head inland.
São Paulo Agribusiness
Vast, geometric patchworks of sugarcane and soy plantations across the interior of São Paulo state.
Western Sunset
As the flight heads West/Northwest, this side provides direct views of the sunset over the horizon.
Book an 'A' or 'B' seat for the best perspective. For departures from GIG, the left side usually faces the ocean and the heart of the city during the initial climb. If flying in the late afternoon, the glare can be intense, so bring sunglasses, but the sunset over the Brazilian plateau is spectacular.

North Zone Rio
View of the Maracanã Stadium and the dense urban sprawl of Rio's northern suburbs during takeoff.
Serra dos Órgãos
Look north to see the jagged 'God's Fingers' peaks near Teresópolis in the distance.
Paraíba do Sul River
The winding path of one of the region's most important rivers cutting through the valley.
Paraná River
A massive waterway crossing that marks the border between São Paulo and Mato Grosso do Sul.
Cerrado Transition
The landscape shifts from lush forest to the unique, gnarled trees of the Brazilian savanna.
Seats 'E' or 'F' are ideal for seeing the inland mountain ranges. This side is generally better for morning flights to avoid the direct sun. Keep an eye out for the Ilha Solteira Dam or similar hydroelectric structures as you cross the border into Mato Grosso do Sul.
