GRU → GYN
Which side of the plane to sit from Guarulhos - Governador André Franco Montoro International Airport (Sao Paulo) to Santa Genoveva Airport (Goiania)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the vast agricultural heartland of São Paulo and Minas Gerais, including major cities and spectacular sunset vistas on afternoon flights.
Serra da Cantareira
Dense Atlantic Forest views immediately after departing Guarulhos, showcasing the green belt surrounding São Paulo.
Campinas Metropolitan Area
A clear view of one of Brazil's most important technology and industrial hubs shortly after reaching cruising altitude.
Agricultural Patterns
Geometric patterns of sugarcane and citrus plantations stretching across the northern São Paulo countryside.
Uberlândia Skyline
The largest city in the Triângulo Mineiro region, visible as a dense cluster of buildings amidst the red soil of the plateau.
Paranaíba River
The natural border between Minas Gerais and Goiás, often reflecting the sun during the late afternoon descent.
For the best experience, book an afternoon flight to catch the sun setting over the Brazilian interior. The left side avoids the harshest morning glare. Look out for the transition from the lush Atlantic Forest to the drier Cerrado landscapes as you head north.
São Paulo Urban Sprawl
Depending on the takeoff direction, an immense view of the world's 4th largest metropolitan area.
Serra da Mantiqueira
Distant views of the jagged peaks and high-altitude plateaus to the east during the initial climb.
Uberaba Industrial Hub
A prominent view of this major agribusiness center, known for its significant cattle breeding history.
Corumbá Reservoirs
Large bodies of water from hydroelectric dams appearing as bright blue patches in the Cerrado landscape during descent.
Goiânia Arrival
A great perspective of Goiânia's radial urban planning and its reputation as one of the leafiest cities in Brazil.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the direct sun. During the final approach to GYN, this side often provides a clearer view of the central urban area and the Oscar Niemeyer Cultural Center if the plane circles from the east.
