Which side of the plane to sit from Guarulhos - Governador André Franco Montoro International Airport (Sao Paulo) to Guarani International Airport (Ciudad del Este)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is slightly superior as it typically offers a direct view of the massive Itaipu Dam and the vast reservoir during the final approach into Ciudad del Este.
São Paulo Skyline
A sweeping view of the skyscrapers and the Cantareira mountain range north of the city.
Serra do Botucatu
Interesting geological formations and ridges as the plane crosses the interior of São Paulo state.
Terra Roxa Fields
The deep purple-red earth typical of the Paraná plateau, creating a striking contrast with green crops.
Itaipu Dam
A spectacular view of one of the world's largest hydroelectric power plants and its massive concrete spillway.
Itaipu Reservoir
The enormous man-made sea created by the dam, stretching far to the north along the border.
The right side is the most consistent for landmark viewing. Ensure you are looking out during the last 10 minutes of the flight to catch the Itaipu Dam. Morning flights provide the best lighting for photography on this side as the sun is behind the aircraft.
São Paulo Southern Sprawl
Aerial view of the dense urban landscape of southern São Paulo shortly after takeoff.
Mata Atlântica
Green corridors of the Atlantic Forest remaining in the interior of São Paulo state.
Paraná Crop Circles
Vast agricultural landscapes featuring geometric patterns and the region's famous red soil.
Iguazu Falls Glimpse
Depending on the wind and landing pattern, you may see the mist or distant cascades of the falls to the south.
The Triple Frontier
The confluence of the Iguaçu and Paraná rivers where Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay meet.
Sit on the left for a chance to see the Iguazu Falls during the descent, though this depends heavily on the day's air traffic patterns. Afternoon flights are better on this side to avoid the harsh northern sun glare.
