Araraquara Downtown
A quick glimpse of the 'Abode of the Sun' city center immediately after takeoff from AQA.
São Carlos Tech Hub
View of the prestigious university campuses and technology parks that define this academic center.
Rio Claro Grid
The meticulously planned street grid of Rio Claro stands out against the surrounding red earth.
Limeira Industrial Zones
Spot the expansive factories and jewelry production centers that drive the local economy.
Americana Urban Sprawl
Densely populated neighborhoods that indicate you are entering the Campinas metropolitan area.
Early morning flights are highly recommended as the sun rises in the east, illuminating the cities on the left without glare. Since this is a very short flight, typically under 40 minutes, avoid seats directly over the wing to maintain an unobstructed view of the landmarks which pass by quickly at lower altitudes.
