Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior view of the Brazilian coastline and major northeastern cities during the initial stages of the flight, followed by the dramatic transition to the lush Serra do Mar mountains.

Northeast Coastline
Breathtaking views of the turquoise Atlantic waters and coral reefs shortly after takeoff from Joao Pessoa.
Recife Skyline
Clear view of the 'Venice of Brazil' and the high-rise buildings of Boa Viagem beach.
Maceio Lagoons
The striking contrast of the Mundau and Manguaba lagoons against the deep blue sea.
Serra do Mar
As you approach the Southeast, view the dense Atlantic Forest covering the coastal mountain ranges.
Greater Sao Paulo
The massive urban sprawl and industrial hubs of the ABC region and Sao Paulo outskirts before descending.
For morning flights, the left side avoids direct glare from the sun rising over the Atlantic. If the flight path hugs the coast, keep your camera ready for the first 45 minutes to capture the transition from Paraiba to Alagoas.

The Sertao
The unique semi-arid landscape of the Brazilian interior with its distinctive vegetation and earth tones.
Sao Francisco River
The 'River of National Unity' can often be seen snaking through the dry landscape of the Northeast.
Minas Gerais Highlands
Rolling hills and iron-rich mountain ranges as the flight passes over the interior of Minas Gerais.
Agribusiness Hubs
Geometric patterns of massive sugar cane and coffee plantations as you enter Sao Paulo state.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Brazilian interior. Watch for the 'Old Chico' (Sao Francisco River) which serves as a major landmark mid-flight.
