Punta del Este
Spot the famous peninsula and high-rise skyline of South America's most exclusive seaside resort.

Continuous views of white sand beaches stretching for hundreds of miles along Rio Grande do Sul.
Santa Catarina Island
Stunning aerial views of Florianopolis, including its bays and the famous Hercilio Luz Bridge.
Serra do Mar

Ilhabela
A beautiful mountainous island known for its lush forests and sailing culture visible before descent.
Baixada Santista
The industrial port of Santos and the coastal lowlands just before the aircraft turns inland for GRU.
The right side is the clear winner for scenic variety. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the coastline and the green Serra do Mar mountains. Sit behind the wing to ensure your view of the lagoons and the Santa Catarina archipelago is not obstructed. Be prepared for occasional coastal fog which can obscure the view in the early morning.
