Our Recommendation
8.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a spectacular view of the Brazilian highlands of Minas Gerais and the iconic coastal landmarks of Vitoria, including the Convento da Penha during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
8.8
💧

Lake Paranoá

Immediate view of Brasilia's artificial lake and the Juscelino Kubitschek Bridge during the initial climb.

⛏️

Iron Quadrangle

Witness the dramatic red earth and open-pit mines of central Minas Gerais from cruising altitude.

🏔️

Pico da Bandeira

On clear days, the third highest peak in Brazil located in the Serra do Caparaó may be visible to the south.

🌉

Terceira Ponte

A stunning view of the bridge connecting Vitoria and Vila Velha as the plane aligns with the runway.

⛪

Convento da Penha

The most famous landmark of Espírito Santo, perched atop a 154-meter high cliff, is visible just before landing.

Sit on the right for the iconic 'Vitoria approach.' Afternoon flights are best as the sun illuminates the granite mountains and the bay. Try to get a seat away from the wing to fully see the dramatic coastline and the urban layout of Vila Velha during the final descent.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Brasilia Planalto Central

Aerial view of the Federal District's unique urban planning and the vast Cerrado landscape upon departure.

🌊

Três Marias Reservoir

Spot the massive blue waters of the São Francisco River dam cutting through the dry landscape of Minas Gerais.

⛰️

Serra do Espinhaço

View of the northern section of South America's only mountain range designated as a Biosphere Reserve.

🏖️

Linhares Coastline

As you descend, catch glimpses of the northern beaches of Espírito Santo and the Doce River estuary.

The left side is preferable on morning flights (BSB-VIX) to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It provides a great perspective of the transition from the central plateau to the coastal lowlands of northern Espírito Santo.
