ROSGRU

Our Recommendation
7.8

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.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🌊

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.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🏘️

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.
