São Paulo Metropolis
Panoramic views of the Guarulhos and North Zone neighborhoods during the initial ascent phase.
Serra da Cantareira
The largest urban forest in the world, appearing as a dense green carpet just north of the city.
Campinas Industrial Hub
Distant views of one of Brazil's largest technological and industrial centers during mid-cruise.
Agricultural Patchwork
Vibrant geometric patterns of sugarcane, coffee, and citrus plantations across central São Paulo state.
Rio Grande Crossing
The wide, shimmering waters of the Rio Grande which serves as the natural border between SP and MG.
For morning flights, the left side is ideal as the sun is on the opposite side, providing perfect lighting for photos of the São Paulo skyline. During descent into Uberaba, watch for the shift in soil color to deep red. Sit behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the Rio Grande crossing.

Serra da Mantiqueira
Majestic distant silhouettes of the mountain range that separates São Paulo from Minas Gerais.
Interior Hubs
Bird's eye view of well-organized interior cities like Atibaia, Limeira, and Ribeirão Preto depending on the drift.
Terra Roxa Landscapes
The iconic deep purple-red soil of the region becomes highly visible as you enter the Triângulo Mineiro.
Uberaba Approach
Final descent often provides a clear view of the city’s dense urban center and the airport surroundings.
The right side is best for late afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the setting sun. Keep an eye out for the Jaguari Reservoir shortly after takeoff. If the plane approaches Uberaba from the south, you'll get a direct view of the city's unique layout and the 'Zebu' cattle ranching infrastructure that the city is famous for.
