Our Recommendation

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers spectacular views of the Atlantic coastline, the massive Porto do Açu, and the iconic beaches of Guarapari and Vila Velha during the final approach into Vitória.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏗️

Porto do Açu

One of the largest industrial port complexes in Latin America, clearly visible on the coast south of the ES border.

🏖️

Guarapari Beaches

The stunning blue waters of Enseada Azul and Praia do Morro are visible as the plane begins its descent.

⛪

Convento da Penha

A 16th-century monastery perched on a 154-meter high cliff in Vila Velha, a landmark of the region.

🌉

Terceira Ponte

The massive bridge connecting Vitória and Vila Velha, offering a grand scale of the bay area.

🏙️

Vila Velha Coastline

Detailed views of the high-rise buildings and sandy shores of Praia da Costa just before landing.

The right side is the definitive choice for scenery enthusiasts. For the best photography, fly in the afternoon when the sun illuminates the coastline and the Convento da Penha. During the final approach, the aircraft often turns over the ocean, providing a panoramic view of the Vitória bay and the Port of Tubarão.

Left Side Highlights

🌊

Paraíba do Sul River

Visible immediately after takeoff, this major river cuts through the plains of Campos dos Goytacazes.

🏞️

Lagoa de Cima

A beautiful freshwater lagoon surrounded by small hills, located west of the departure city.

⛰️

Serra de Itabapoana

The distant silhouettes of the mountain ranges that define the border between Rio de Janeiro and Espírito Santo.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun over the ocean. It is the best side for spotting the inland river deltas and the agricultural sprawl of the northern Rio de Janeiro state. Keep an eye out for the Mestre Álvaro mountain as you approach Vitória.
