Sunset Horizon

Choose this side for late afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset. The most iconic moment is the crossing of the Paraná River; the sheer scale of the water is best appreciated from this side. During the descent into VCP, you may also catch glimpses of the city of Sorocaba depending on the wind direction and landing pattern.

The left side is preferable for morning flights as the sun will be on the opposite side, reducing glare. It provides a great perspective of the northern part of the Paraná River reservoirs. Watch for the distinct change in soil color to the 'Terra Roxa' (red earth) as you enter the interior of São Paulo state.
