ROS → GRU
Which side of the plane to sit from Islas Malvinas Airport (Rosario) to Guarulhos - Governador André Franco Montoro International Airport (Sao Paulo)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior perspective of the winding Paraná River delta shortly after takeoff and provides a dramatic look at the lush Serra do Mar mountain ranges during the descent into the São Paulo basin.
Paraná River Delta
An intricate network of islands and wetlands immediately after departure from Rosario.
Uruguayan Pampa
Vast agricultural landscapes and rolling grasslands in Northern Uruguay.
Paranaense Highlands
High-altitude plateaus and Araucaria pine forests as you enter Southern Brazil.
Serra do Mar
The dense Atlantic Forest mountain range that marks the edge of the Brazilian highlands.
São Paulo West Zone
The staggering urban density of South America's largest city during the final approach.
To avoid sun glare, the left side is preferable on afternoon flights. Try to sit forward of the wing to get the best photos of the Paraná River delta. During the descent, look for the sharp contrast between the green mountain reserves and the grey urban sprawl.
Rosario Cityscape
A clear view of Rosario's urban grid and the port infrastructure along the riverbank.
Entre Ríos Wetlands
The expansive flooded plains of eastern Argentina and the Uruguay River border.
Atlantic Coastline
Distant views of the South Atlantic ocean if the flight path tracks closer to the coast.
Cantareira Ridge
The northern mountains protecting the São Paulo metropolitan area near Guarulhos.
GRU Airport Complex
A massive overhead view of the terminals and runways as the plane turns for final alignment.
Excellent for sunrise views on early morning departures from Rosario. If the flight approaches GRU from the south, this side offers the best view of the industrial ABC region. Keep an eye out for seasonal fog in the morning which can obscure the ground in winter.
