Greater São Paulo
Panoramic views of the massive urban density and skyscrapers of South America's largest city.
Serra da Cantareira
A dense Atlantic Forest reserve providing a green border to the northern edge of the metropolis.
Interior Plateau
Vast agricultural landscapes featuring sugarcane and coffee plantations typical of the region.
Brasilia Pilot Plan
The world-famous urban design by Lúcio Costa, clearly visible as an airplane or butterfly shape.
Eixo Monumental
Direct views of the National Congress, the Cathedral, and the administrative heart of Brazil.
Book an 'A' window seat. Morning flights (07:00-09:00) provide the best light for photography without the glare. On the final approach to BSB, the left side usually gets the iconic view of the city center if the aircraft lands on Runway 11L or 11R.

Mantiqueira Range
Distant views of the rugged peaks and valleys bordering the states of São Paulo and Minas Gerais.
Jaguari Reservoir
Large, deep-blue water bodies that create a stunning contrast with the surrounding greenery.
Minas Gerais Hills
The characteristic 'sea of hills' landscape of the southern Minas Gerais region.
Lake Paranoá
The massive man-made lake that borders Brasilia's upscale residential districts and the JK Bridge.
Cerrado Sunset
On late afternoon flights, this side offers spectacular orange horizons over the central plateau.
Choose a 'K' or 'F' window seat. If flying during the golden hour (late afternoon), the right side is perfect for capturing the sunset over the Cerrado. Look out for the JK Bridge—a major architectural landmark—as the plane circles over Lake Paranoá.
