GRU → CBB
Which side of the plane to sit from Guarulhos - Governador André Franco Montoro International Airport (Sao Paulo) to Jorge Wilsterman International Airport (Cochabamba)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning views of the transition from the Brazilian plateau to the Andes, the Right Side is superior for the dramatic approach into the Cochabamba valley, providing a front-row seat to the massive Cerro Tunari and the northern edges of the Cordillera Oriental.
Serra da Cantareira
Lush Atlantic Forest reserves located just north of the Sao Paulo metropolitan area.
Paraná River Crossing
A spectacular crossing of the massive Paraná River, the second longest in South America.
Santa Cruz Lowlands
Geometric agricultural patterns and tropical landscapes surrounding Bolivia's largest city.
Cerro Tunari
The highest peak in central Bolivia, standing at over 5,000 meters, visible during the final descent.
Cochabamba Valley
A panoramic view of the 'City of Eternal Spring' nestled within a high-altitude mountain valley.
Sit on the right side for the most iconic views of Cerro Tunari during the landing approach. Morning flights are particularly beautiful as the sun illuminates the mountain faces. Note that the approach into CBB can be turbulent due to mountain winds, so keep your seatbelt fastened while enjoying the scenery.
Sao Paulo Urban Sprawl
An incredible view of one of the world's largest metropolitan areas immediately after takeoff from GRU.
Tietê River Meanders
Follow the winding path of the Tietê river as it cuts through the interior of Sao Paulo state.
Southern Pantanal
Aerial views of the world's largest tropical wetland area, characterized by complex river systems and green plains.
Cordillera Oriental
The first sightings of the rugged, snow-capped peaks of the eastern Andes as the aircraft enters Bolivian airspace.
The left side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct northern sun in the Southern Hemisphere. It offers a more consistent view of the vast southern plains of the Gran Chaco before the sudden rise of the Andes mountains.
