Iguaçu Falls
The breathtaking aerial perspective of the world's largest waterfall system immediately following takeoff.
Iguaçu National Park
An endless canopy of preserved Atlantic Forest stretching toward the Argentine border.
Paranapanema River
The scenic crossing of the river that forms the natural border between the states of Paraná and São Paulo.
Serra do Japi
Rugged, forested mountain ridges visible during the final descent into the Campinas region.
Viracopos Approach
Panoramic views of the expanding urban sprawl and logistics hubs surrounding the Campinas metropolitan area.
The right side is the priority for the iconic view of the falls. Note that the visibility of the falls depends on the takeoff direction; if the plane takes off towards the south, they appear almost immediately. Morning flights are ideal for this side to get the best sunlight on the water. Be prepared with your camera as the best views happen within the first 3 minutes of flight.

Itaipu Dam
The massive hydroelectric power plant on the Paraná River, visible during the initial climb if heading north.
Friendship Bridge
The international crossing connecting Brazil and Paraguay over the Paraná River.

Maringá & Londrina
The dense clusters of skyscrapers and urban layouts of these major interior cities can be seen mid-flight.
Paulista Interior
A view of the industrial and sugarcane hubs around Piracicaba as the plane descends towards Campinas.
Sit on the left if you want to see the Itaipu Dam during departure. For afternoon flights, this side will be in the shade, making it better for taking photos without window glare. Keep an eye out for the Paraná River, which marks the border with Paraguay.
