GRU → CGB
Which side of the plane to sit from Guarulhos - Governador André Franco Montoro International Airport (Sao Paulo) to Marechal Rondon Airport (Cuiaba)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Tietê River's inland course and provides the most dramatic perspective of the Chapada dos Guimarães cliffs during the descent into Cuiabá.
Cantareira State Park
Dense Atlantic Forest ridges immediately north of Guarulhos airport during initial climb.
Tietê River Basin
The historic waterway that served as the primary route for Brazil's early explorers heading west.
Hydroelectric Reservoirs
Large blue reservoirs like Barra Bonita and Promissão dotting the landscape.
Chapada dos Guimarães
Stunning red sandstone cliffs and plateaus visible to the northeast during the final approach to CGB.
The highlight is the Chapada dos Guimarães; choose a window seat in front of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the cliffs. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting on the red rock formations as you descend.
Greater São Paulo
Aerial views of the massive urban sprawl extending toward the southern suburbs and the Serra do Mar range.
Agricultural Heartland
A patchwork of sugarcane and soybean plantations across the interior of São Paulo state.
Paraná River Crossing
The wide expanse of the Paraná River marking the border between São Paulo and Mato Grosso do Sul.
Pantanal Gateways
Initial glimpses of the low-lying wetlands and complex river systems south of Cuiabá.
On morning flights, the left side is shaded, providing better conditions for photography without glare. Keep an eye out for the Ilha Solteira Dam system about midway through the flight.
