Southern SP Skyline
Views of the dense urban expansion and skyscrapers of southern Sao Paulo during the initial ascent phase.
Serra da Cantareira
Lush green vistas of one of the largest urban forests in the world located just north of the city.
Jurumirim Reservoir
A massive blue expanse on the Paranapanema River providing a stark contrast to the surrounding green hills.
Paranapanema River
The natural winding border between Sao Paulo and Parana states, visible as the flight enters southern territory.
Red Soil Plateaus
The striking deep red earth (Terra Roxa) of northern Parana, often patterned with coffee and soy plantations.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the northern sun. This side offers the best view of the Jurumirim Reservoir, which is the most significant water feature on the route. During the final 15 minutes of flight, watch for the shift in soil color to a deep crimson as you enter Parana.
