Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the massive river systems of the interior, including the Tietê and Paraná, culminating in a spectacular view of the Chapada dos Guimarães plateaus during the descent into Cuiabá.

Right Side Highlights

💧

Tietê River Basin

Follow the winding path of the Tietê River and its series of large hydroelectric reservoirs like Barra Bonita.

⚡

Ilha Solteira Complex

Aerial view of one of Brazil's largest hydroelectric projects where the Tietê and Grande rivers meet.

🏙️

Cuiabá River Meanders

The intricate, snake-like loops of the Cuiabá River as it flows through the Cerrado landscape.

⛰️

Chapada dos Guimarães

Dramatic red sandstone cliffs and plateaus visible on the horizon during the final approach into Marechal Rondon Airport.

This is the 'scenic side' for water lovers. On morning flights, the sun is behind you, perfectly illuminating the turquoise waters of the Ilha Solteira reservoir. For the best view of the Chapada dos Guimarães cliffs, look out during the last 15 minutes of the flight.

🏭

Industrial Campinas

Vast industrial parks and logistical hubs surrounding Viracopos and the interior of São Paulo.

Rio Paraná Border

The crossing of the massive Paraná River, which forms the border between São Paulo and Mato Grosso do Sul.

Pantanal Fringe

As you approach the Mato Grosso border, the landscape begins to transition into the marshy textures of the northern Pantanal.

Choose this side for late afternoon flights to enjoy a stunning sunset over the vast Brazilian plains. Keep your eyes peeled for the silver reflections of the Jupiá Dam area as you cross into Mato Grosso do Sul.
