Our Recommendation

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers spectacular views of the Atlantic coastline, the Discovery Coast's colorful cliffs, and the dense urban and industrial landscape of the Paraíba Valley during the descent.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Porto Seguro Reefs

Stunning views of the coral formations and turquoise waters immediately after takeoff.

🏖️

Discovery Coast Cliffs

The famous red and white cliffs of Arraial d'Ajuda and Trancoso visible shortly after departure.

🏙️

Vitória and Vila Velha

Aerial perspective of the Espírito Santo coastline and the Port of Tubarão.

⛰️

Serra do Mar

The lush, green peaks of the coastal mountain range as the flight heads into São Paulo state.

🏗️

Paraíba Valley

The dense industrial corridor between Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo during the initial descent.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and get the best illumination of the coastline. During the summer, look for cumulus cloud formations over the ocean which provide a sense of scale to the vast Atlantic horizon.

Right Side Highlights
6.8
🌳

Atlantic Forest

Expansive views of protected forest reserves in southern Bahia and northern Espírito Santo.

🏞️

Rio Doce Basin

A view of one of Brazil's major river systems winding through the interior landscape.

🌇

Campinas Outskirts

⛰️

Serra do Japi

A glimpse of the environmental protection area near the final approach into VCP.

The right side is ideal for sunset flights, offering a beautiful view of the sun dipping below the interior plateaus. It is generally less prone to glare in the afternoon compared to the left side.
