GRUPFB

Our Recommendation
7.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic transition from the urban sprawl of São Paulo to the lush, mountainous Serra do Mar and the southern coastline.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

São Paulo Megacity

Uninterrupted views of the massive urban density and skyscrapers during the initial climb from GRU.

⛰️

Serra do Mar

A stunning look at the rugged, forest-covered mountain ranges that separate the plateau from the coast.

🌊

Atlantic Horizon

On clear days, the proximity to the coast allows for distant views of the blue South Atlantic Ocean.

🌳

Atlantic Forest Biosphere

Aerial perspective of one of the most biodiverse and endangered tropical forests in the world.

🌾

Gaucho Highlands

The rolling hills and distinctive 'Coxilhas' topography as the flight enters Rio Grande do Sul.

Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to see the sunlight reflecting off the Serra do Mar. This side is also best for seeing the lights of the coast during night flights. Watch for the change in soil color from brown to deep red as you move south.

Right Side Highlights
6.8
🏗️

Guarulhos Logistics

Detailed views of the industrial and logistical infrastructure surrounding the airport complex.

🚜

Agribusiness Heartland

Vast geometric patterns of soy and corn plantations across the states of Paraná and Santa Catarina.

🏘️

Paraná Interior

Aerial views of inland cities and towns that serve as the backbone of Brazil's agricultural economy.

🌅

Continental Sunset

Spectacular orange and purple hues over the interior plains if flying in the late afternoon.

The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset without the harsh glare found on the left. It offers a great perspective on the sheer scale of Brazilian inland agriculture. Pay attention to the massive wind turbines often visible near the border of the southern states.
