Jurumirim Reservoir
A massive blue body of water in the interior of São Paulo state that provides a beautiful contrast with the red soil.
Guarapiranga Reservoir
The primary indicator that the flight is entering the final approach phase into the capital's urban core.
Interlagos Circuit
On the standard approach, the famous Formula 1 track is clearly visible just minutes before touchdown.
São Paulo Skyscrapers
An incredible look at the sheer density of the 'concrete jungle' as the plane flies low over the South Zone.
Ibirapuera Park
Sometimes visible in the distance to the north depending on the specific traffic patterns and runway in use.
The right side is essential for the classic 'Congonhas Experience.' You will pass directly over the Interlagos and Guarapiranga areas. For late afternoon flights, this side offers a stunning 'Golden Hour' view of the city's skyline, though be prepared for some glare. Aim for a seat in front of the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the reservoirs.

Maringá Cityscape
A clear view of the circular urban planning and the towering Cathedral of Maringá immediately after takeoff.
Paranapanema River
Observe the winding river that serves as the natural border between the states of Paraná and São Paulo.
Castelo Branco Highway
The artery connecting the interior to the capital is often visible cutting through the agricultural landscape.
Sorocaba Hub

Sit on the left if you prefer a view of Maringá's unique street layout at departure. For the arrival at CGH, you will likely see the Marginal Pinheiros and the modern skyscrapers of the Berrini area. Flights in the morning on this side provide better lighting as the sun will be on the opposite side of the aircraft.
