Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a superior view of the Chapada dos Guimarães sandstone cliffs shortly after takeoff and typically offers better views of the Campinas urban area during the final approach into Viracopos.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏙️

Cuiabá Skyline

A clear view of the Mato Grosso capital and the Arena Pantanal immediately after departure.

⛰️

Chapada dos Guimarães

Distances views of the dramatic red sandstone cliffs and plateau edges to the east.

🚜

Agricultural Heartland

Vast stretches of soy and corn plantations that define the landscape of the Brazilian Cerrado.

🌊

Rio Paraná

Crossing the massive border river between Mato Grosso do Sul and São Paulo states.

🏢

Campinas Metropolis

Panoramic views of downtown Campinas and the surrounding urban clusters before landing.

Choose this side for morning flights to see the landscape illuminated by the rising sun without direct glare. Keep your eyes peeled roughly 10-15 minutes after takeoff for the Chapada cliffs. In the rainy season from October to March, this side often offers views of spectacular cumulus cloud formations over the plateau.

Right Side Highlights
7.6
🐊

Pantanal Border

Glimpses of the eastern edge of the world's largest tropical wetland area.

🚤

Tietê River System

The winding path of the Tietê river, featuring major hydroelectric dams and navigation locks.

⚡

Jupiá Dam

One of Brazil's major hydroelectric plants located on the Paraná River near the border.

🌅

Western Horizon

Unobstructed views of the sunset over the vast interior of the South American continent.

🛣️

Bandeirantes Highway

The geometric patterns of one of Brazil's most modern road networks leading into the VCP hub.

The right side is the premier choice for late afternoon flights, offering front-row seats to the sunset over the interior. It is also excellent for spotting the complex river engineering projects of the São Paulo interior. During the winter months, look for the 'queimadas' (controlled fires) which create distinct atmospheric patterns across the horizon.
