Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides the most iconic views of Sao Paulo's urban canyon, including the Morumbi district and the lush Ibirapuera Park during the final descent into Congonhas.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏭

Southern Uberlandia

Industrial and logistics hubs that define the economic strength of the Minas Gerais interior.

💧

Rio Grande

The wide river crossing that serves as the natural border between Minas Gerais and Sao Paulo states.

🏘️

Campinas Region

Aerial perspective of one of Brazil's largest inland metropolitan areas roughly 20 minutes before arrival.

🌳

Ibirapuera Park

A stunning view of Sao Paulo's most famous park contrasting with the surrounding concrete jungle.

🌉

Marginal Pinheiros

The iconic cable-stayed bridge and the sleek glass towers of the city's modern financial district visible just before touchdown.

The right side is essential for the classic Congonhas landing experience over the city. Choose a morning flight for the best lighting on the skyscrapers. Keep your camera ready as soon as the landing gear drops, as the aircraft flies very low over the Moema and Morumbi neighborhoods.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Uberlandia Center

Excellent view of the central urban district of Uberlandia shortly after takeoff from the Triangulo Mineiro.

🚜

Cerrado Plantations

The geometric beauty of coffee and soy plantations across the interior of Sao Paulo state.

🏔️

Serra da Cantareira

The massive green belt of Atlantic Forest that marks the northern entry into the Sao Paulo metropolis.

🏢

Paulista Avenue

Glimpses of the financial heart of Brazil and its towering skyscrapers as the plane aligns with the runway.

Sit on the left for afternoon flights to avoid sun glare, as the sun will be in the west. This side is superior for spotting the historical center and the Altino Arantes building during the final approach path into Runway 17.
