Cantareira State Park
Lush green mountains and preserved forest areas immediately north of São Paulo during departure.
Itaipu Reservoir
The massive body of water created by the Itaipu Dam, visible as a vast blue expanse on the horizon.
Triple Frontier Region
The geographic convergence area where Brazil, Argentina, and Paraguay meet near the river confluence.
Paraguay River
The iconic, winding silver thread of the Paraguay River that guides the aircraft toward the runway.
Asunción Skyline
A panoramic view of the 'Mother of Cities' and its modern high-rises during the final descent.
This side is highly recommended for the descent. As the plane prepares to land at ASU, it often performs a turn that provides a direct view of the Paraguay River's meanders. Look for the massive Itaipu reservoir roughly 30-40 minutes before landing. Afternoon flights on this side may experience some glare.
