Tietê River Waterway
A view of the legendary Tietê River, including several dams and locks used for industrial transport.
The Citrus Belt
Geometric patterns of vast orange and sugar cane plantations stretching to the horizon.
Jupiá Hydroelectric Dam
The massive engineering feat on the Paraná River, marking the border between the two states.
Três Lagoas
View of the 'City of Waters' and its junction of the Paraná and Sucuriú rivers.
Campo Grande Skyline
A clear view of the 'Cidade Morena' skyline during the final approach into CGR.
The right side is the prime choice for seeing the Paraná River crossing, which is the highlight of the trip. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for this side as the sun moves south-west. Use a polarizing filter if photographing to cut through the haze often present in the dry winter season.

Aerial view of the industrial and residential sprawl of Sumaré and Hortolândia during initial climb.
Cuesta de Botucatu
Impressive basaltic slopes and plateau formations that define the geography of central São Paulo.

Sit on the left for softer lighting during morning flights to avoid the direct northern sun glare. Look for the distinct reddish soil patterns typical of this region's fertile 'Terra Roxa'. Keep an eye out for the Cuesta formations roughly 20 minutes into the flight.
