Which side of the plane to sit from Guarulhos - Governador André Franco Montoro International Airport (Sao Paulo) to Vitória da Conquista Airport (Vitória Da Conquista)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the most dramatic mountain ranges in Brazil, including the Serra da Mantiqueira and distant glimpses of the Caparaó National Park peaks.
Serra da Mantiqueira
Dramatic high-altitude peaks along the border of São Paulo and Minas Gerais.
Pico da Bandeira
On very clear days, the third highest peak in Brazil is visible in the eastern distance within the Caparaó range.
Rio Doce Valley
View the winding paths of the Doce River basin as it flows toward the Atlantic coast.
Vitória da Conquista Plateaus
Stunning views of the 'Planalto da Conquista' and its rugged rock formations during the descent.
Ideal for morning flights to watch the sun rise over the mountains. Keep an eye out for the 'Sea of Hills' (Mar de Morros) phenomenon in Minas Gerais, where rolling hills create a wave-like appearance under the clouds.
Cantareira Ridge
Dense Atlantic Forest coverage visible immediately after takeoff from Guarulhos.
Greater Belo Horizonte
The massive urban sprawl of Minas Gerais' capital can be spotted mid-flight to the northwest.
Serra do Espinhaço
A long chain of mountains known for its quartz and iron ore deposits, creating unique rock colors.
Sertão Transition
Watch the landscape change from deep green to the brownish hues of the semi-arid Caatinga biome.
Select this side for afternoon flights to experience a beautiful sunset over the Minas Gerais highlands. This side also avoids the direct morning sun, making it easier to take photos without cabin glare.
