Aviation Landmarks

The massive hangars and airfield of the former TAM Museum site near São Carlos.

Morning flights provide the best lighting for the Right Side without sun glare. Look out for the massive aviation facilities near São Carlos which are a regional landmark. This side offers better views of the highway infrastructure that defines the state's economy.

6.5
⛰️

Serra do Itaqueri

Rugged geological formations known as cuestas visible near Itirapina.

Agricultural Tapestry
