Which side of the plane to sit from Santa Genoveva Airport (Goiania) to Viracopos International Airport (Campinas)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a more diverse landscape, featuring the rugged transition from the Cerrado plateau to the foothills of the Serra da Mantiqueira, alongside distant views of major reservoirs and the urban centers of the Triângulo Mineiro.
Goiânia Skyline
A clear view of the circular urban design of Goiânia shortly after departure from Santa Genoveva.
Serra da Canastra
Distant but visible flat-topped plateaus of the Canastra range as the plane heads south over the border.
Furnas Reservoir
The massive expanse of the 'Sea of Minas' appears as a deep blue network of waterways to the east.
Uberlândia Center
Excellent overhead view of the most significant industrial and logistics hub in the Triângulo Mineiro region.
Mantiqueira Foothills
Lush green rolling hills and coffee plantations as the flight descends into the interior of São Paulo state.
For morning flights, the sun will be on this side, which can cause glare; however, the lighting on the terrain is most dramatic during late afternoon flights (around 4:30 PM). Keep an eye out for the distinct change in soil color from the red Earth of Goiás to the varied greens of the Mantiqueira outskirts.
Paranaíba River
The wide, meandering river that defines the border between the states of Goiás and Minas Gerais.
Sugarcane Mosaic
Vast geometric patterns of sugarcane and citrus plantations typical of the northern São Paulo countryside.
Ribeirão Preto
The sprawling urban area of one of Brazil's wealthiest interior cities, often visible mid-flight.
Tietê River
Crossing the historical Tietê River, which was a vital route for the 'Bandeirantes' explorers.
VCP Infrastructure
The complex intersection of the Anhanguera and Bandeirantes highways during the final approach to Campinas.
Choose this side for afternoon flights to enjoy spectacular sunset views over the vast Brazilian interior without direct sunlight in your eyes. This side is particularly interesting for those interested in seeing the scale of Brazilian agribusiness, especially during the harvest seasons (April to September).
