Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the massive São Paulo urban expansion and iconic landmarks like Pico do Jaraguá during the final descent into Guarulhos.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏙️

Ribeirão Preto

A glimpse of this major agricultural and economic center in the northern interior of São Paulo state.

🏢

Campinas Metro Area

A massive urban cluster visible in the distance, including the sprawling industrial parks.

⛰️

Pico do Jaraguá

The highest peak in São Paulo city, acting as a geographic marker for the metropolitan basin.

🌃

São Paulo Cityscape

The nearly infinite sea of skyscrapers and urban sprawl as the plane aligns with the Guarulhos runways.

The right side is unbeatable for witnessing the transition from rural red-soil farms to the dense urban jungle of São Paulo. On evening flights, the city lights create a spectacular grid that stretches to the horizon. Sit behind the wing for the clearest view of the descent maneuvers.

Left Side Highlights
7.4
🏙️

Uberlândia Outskirts

View of the Triângulo Mineiro's central hub immediately after takeoff from UDI.

🌊

Rio Grande

The wide natural river border separating the states of Minas Gerais and São Paulo.

🌳

Serra da Cantareira

One of the largest urban forests in the world, visible during the final descent sequence.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid harsh sunlight. It provides excellent views of the Rio Grande and the lush greenery of the Cantareira mountains just before landing at GRU. Watch for the transition from Cerrado vegetation to dense Atlantic Forest.
