Serra do Curral
Dramatic mountain ridge marking the southern border of Belo Horizonte immediately after departure.
Serra da Mantiqueira
The highest peaks of the range, including views near the highland city of Campos do Jordão.
Paraíba Valley
The dense industrial and urban corridor along the Dutra highway during the final approach.
Pedra do Baú
Distinctive rock formation protruding from the Mantiqueira forest on the descent into SJK.
Book an early morning flight to see the low-lying mist settled in the Mantiqueira valleys. This side avoids direct glare from the afternoon sun on this southbound route, making photography of the mountain ridges much clearer.
