Costa do Cacau
Immediate views of Praia dos Milionários and the turquoise waters of the Ilhéus coastline after takeoff.
Atlantic Horizon
A sprawling view of the South Atlantic as the aircraft banks south to follow the Brazilian coast.
Serra da Mantiqueira
The rugged, often mist-covered peaks of the Mantiqueira range visible during the transition into São Paulo state.
São José dos Campos
Distant views of the technological hub and the industrial landscape of the Paraíba Valley.
Atlantic Forest Reserves
Large stretches of preserved tropical rainforest on the slopes of the coastal mountains.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. The takeoff from Ilhéus usually heads over the water before turning, providing a perfect photo opportunity of the city's peninsula. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes before landing for the dramatic transition from the high mountains to the Campinas plateau.

Cocoa Forest Canopy
Dense clusters of 'Cabruca' cocoa plantations shaded by native trees surrounding the Ilhéus region.
Minas Gerais Mining District
Distinctive red earth and open-pit mining landscapes visible as the flight crosses the interior of Minas Gerais.
Furnas Reservoir
The massive, branched water system of the 'Sea of Minas' often visible on the western horizon.
São Paulo Agribusiness
Geometrically perfect patterns of sugarcane and citrus groves that define the landscape approaching VCP.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights (after 3 PM) to catch the sunset over the interior highlands. It offers a better view of the inland river systems and the massive agricultural expansion of the Brazilian Southeast. Watch for the 'Iron Quadrangle' region in Minas Gerais where the soil turns a deep, rusty red.
