Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior urban spectacle, offering a direct view of São Paulo's iconic skyline, Ibirapuera Park, and the financial district during the famous low-altitude approach into Congonhas.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
💧

Guarapiranga Reservoir

A massive blue expanse surrounded by greenery and urban development, often seen during the southern circuit approach.

🏎️

Interlagos Circuit

The world-famous Autódromo José Carlos Pace is often visible to the south during specific approach patterns.

🌳

Ibirapuera Park

São Paulo's most famous park, appearing as a green oasis amidst a sea of skyscrapers just moments before touchdown.

🏙️

Avenida Paulista Skyline

The financial heart of Brazil, recognizable by its iconic radio antennas and dense cluster of high-rise buildings.

Request a window seat on the right side for the 'skyline tour.' Most landings occur on Runway 17, which puts the city's most famous landmarks directly in your line of sight. Choose a seat ahead of the wing to ensure your photos of Ibirapuera Park are unobstructed.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌾

Western SP Farmlands

Vast stretches of sugarcane and soy plantations that define the landscape of the interior of São Paulo state.

⛰️

Serra da Cantareira

The dense green hills of the world's largest urban forest situated at the northern edge of the metro area.

🏘️

East Zone Density

The incredible urban sprawl of the Tatuapé and Anália Franco districts as the plane maneuvers for landing.

Sit on the left if you prefer seeing the lush greenery of the Cantareira range before entering the urban maze. This side is also better for avoiding direct sunlight during morning flights from PPB to CGH.
