Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior scenic experience, featuring the dramatic drop-offs of the Serra Geral canyons and the dense, misty peaks of the Serra do Mar as you approach São Paulo.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Serra Geral Escarpments

Stunning vertical cliffs where the southern plateau meets the coastal lowlands.

🌲

Araucaria Forests

Clusters of the iconic Brazilian Pine trees visible in the highlands of Santa Catarina.

🌊

Serra do Mar Range

The lush, cloud-covered mountains of the Atlantic Forest stretching toward the coast.

🏘️

Curitiba Perimeter

Views of the organized urban sprawl of Paraná's capital city from a distance.

🏗️

Guarulhos Airport Complex

A complete overview of the massive terminal infrastructure just before touchdown.

The right side is unbeatable on morning flights as the rising sun illuminates the canyon walls of Aparados da Serra. Sit ahead of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the mountain ranges.

🏙️

Passo Fundo Cityscape

A clear view of the city center and the University of Passo Fundo campus right after takeoff.

🚜

Planalto Médio Farms

Extensive patchwork of soybean and wheat fields that define the interior of Rio Grande do Sul.
