Our Recommendation
7.4

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the Tietê River's massive reservoir system and a clearer perspective of the vast agricultural transition from São Paulo state into the Mato Grosso do Sul plains.

Right Side Highlights
7.4
🚢

Tietê Reservoirs

Marvel at the massive dams and wide river stretches that facilitate the interior's 'Hidrovia' transport system.

🌆

Bauru & Marília

Direct views of these major interior cities, characterized by high-rise clusters amidst a sea of red earth.

🌊

Paraná River Crossing

A spectacular crossing of the massive Paraná River, often showing the bridge connections between SP and MS.

🌾

Dourados Agribusiness

Geometric patterns of soybean and corn fields that look like a giant green and gold patchwork quilt during descent.

The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the horizon as you approach Dourados. Look for the 'Terra Roxa'—the famous fertile red soil—which is particularly vibrant from this side when the sun is low. Bring polarized sunglasses to better see the river details through the haze.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🏙️

Jundiaí Highlands

Just after takeoff, witness the rolling hills and urban sprawl stretching toward the Greater São Paulo area.

💧

Paranapanema River

Distant views of the deep blue waters marking the border between the states of São Paulo and Paraná.

🏘️

Assis Urban Center

A clear view of one of the most important regional hubs in the southwestern part of São Paulo state.

For morning flights, sit on the left to enjoy the soft lighting on the landscape without the direct glare of the sun. Keep an eye out for the distinct shift from hilly terrain to the flat, expansive plateaus characteristic of the southern interior.
