Which side of the plane to sit from Hercílio Luz International Airport (Florianopolis) to Viracopos International Airport (Campinas)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular view of the Brazilian coastline, the famous Balneário Camboriú skyline, and the pristine beaches of Santa Catarina and Paraná before the inland turn towards Campinas.
Santa Catarina Island
An incredible bird's-eye view of Florianópolis, including the North Bay and its many beaches upon departure.
Balneário Camboriú
The 'Dubai of Brazil' skyline, featuring some of the tallest residential skyscrapers in South America.
Beto Carrero World
Spot the colorful structures of Latin America's largest theme park near the Penha coastline.
Guaratuba Bay
The beautiful indentation of the coast in Paraná, often dotted with small boats and ferries.
Vinhedo & Jundiaí
The rolling hills and agricultural landscapes of the 'Fruit Circuit' during the final approach to Viracopos.
This is the premier side for coastal lovers. For the best experience, take a morning flight when the sun is behind the plane, perfectly illuminating the blue waters and white sands. Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff from FLN, as the turn north provides the best view of the island's geography.
Serra do Mar
The dramatic green slopes of the coastal mountain range running parallel to the flight path.
Joinville Region
Aerial view of Santa Catarina's largest city and its industrial landscape nestled against the mountains.
Ribeira Valley
One of the largest preserved areas of Atlantic Forest in Brazil, showing dense, continuous canopy.
Sorocaba
The expanding urban sprawl of the Sorocaba metropolitan area visible during the descent into VCP.
Choose this side during late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the Serra do Mar mountains. It provides a better perspective of the inland geography and the transition from coastal forest to the interior plateaus. Ensure your window is clean to capture the deep greens of the Atlantic Forest.
