Despite occupying a large area of the globe and being the next agricultural frontier, sandy soils are seldom explored in scientific studies. Considering the high capacity of remote sensing in soil characterization, this work aimed to: (i) characterize sandy soils’ profiles from proximal sensing; (ii) assess the ability of visible, near, and short-wave infrared (Vis-NIR-SWIR) as well as mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopy to distinguish soil classes of highly sandy content; (iii) quantify physical and chemical attributes of sandy soil profiles from Vis-NIR-SWIR and MIR spectroscopy as well as X-ray fluorescence (pXRF). Samples were described and collected from 29 sandy soil profiles. The 127 samples went under Vis-NIR-SWIR and MIR spectroscopy, X-ray fluorescence, and chemical and physical analyses. The spectra were analyzed based on “Morphological Interpretation of Reflectance Spectrum” (MIRS), Principal Components Analysis (PCA), and cluster methodology to characterize soils. The integration of different information obtained by remote sensors, such as Vis-NIR-SWIR, MIR, and Portable X-ray Fluorescence (pXRF), allows for pedologically complex characterizations and conclusions in a short period and with low investment in analysis and reagents. The application of MIRS concepts in the VNS spectra of sandy soils showed high potential for distinguishing pedological classes of sandy soils. The MIR spectra did not show distinct patterns in the general shapes of the curves and reflectance intensities between sandy soil classes. However, even so, this region showed potential for identifying mineralogical constitution, texture, and OM contents, assuming high importance for the complementation of soil pedometric characterizations using VNS spectroscopy. The VNS and MIR data, combined or isolated, showed excellent predictive performance for the estimation of sandy soil attributes (R2 > 0.8). Sandy soil color indices, which are very important for soil classification, can be predicted with excellent accuracy (R2 from 0.74 to 0.99) using VNS spectroscopy or the combination of VNS + MIR.
