Panoramic views of the endless urban skyline of São Paulo and Guarulhos immediately after takeoff.
Serra da Mantiqueira
Dramatic views of the rugged peaks and high-altitude Atlantic Forest during the initial climb phase.
Minas Gerais Highlands
Expansive views of the rolling hills and agricultural mosaics characteristic of the Brazilian central plateau.
São Francisco River Crossing
A clear view of the 'River of National Integration' as it cuts through the semi-arid interior landscapes.
Chapada do Araripe
The most stunning feature of the trip, showcasing a massive flat-topped plateau rising from the Cariri valley floor.
For the best experience, book a window seat behind the wing to avoid engine obstruction of the Araripe plateau. On afternoon flights, this side provides great lighting for the landscape, though you should expect some direct sunlight. During the final 20 minutes of flight, keep your camera ready for the dramatic descent alongside the plateau cliffs.
