Our Recommendation
8.2

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.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏔️

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.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🌳

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.
