Our Recommendation
7.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers the most dramatic views of the Cuesta de Botucatu geological formations and the vast, patterned sugarcane landscapes of the São Paulo interior.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
⛰️

Cuesta de Botucatu

The most striking feature of the trip, featuring dramatic basaltic cliffs and cuesta landforms.

🌿

Sugarcane Sea

Infinite stretches of sugarcane fields that create a unique emerald-green texture from above.

💧

Jurumirim Reservoir

The shimmering blue waters of this massive reservoir can often be seen toward the southwest.

🏘️

Indaiatuba

Detailed views of the urban layout and industrial parks of Indaiatuba during the final descent.

The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the sugarcane fields. Keep your camera ready about mid-flight for the Botucatu escarpments, which are the geological highlight of the São Paulo plateau.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🌊

Tietê River Basin

Aerial perspective of the historic river that served as a route for the Bandeirantes into the interior.

🏙️

Bauru Urban Area

A clear view of the largest city in the mid-western region of São Paulo state.

🚜

Agricultural Patterns

Vibrant geometric mosaics of citrus groves and soy plantations north of the flight path.

⛰️

Distant Mantiqueira

On very clear days, the distant blue silhouette of the Mantiqueira Mountains is visible to the east.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct glare while viewing the Tietê River. During the final approach to VCP, you may see the industrial hubs of Americana and Santa Bárbara d'Oeste if the landing is from the north.
