Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers the most dramatic views of the Serra da Mantiqueira's highest peaks and a more comprehensive perspective of the Campinas metropolitan region during arrival.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Pedra do Baú

The iconic rock complex near Campos do Jordão is often visible in the distance, standing out from the horizon.

🛤️

Fernão Dias Highway

Watch the winding path of one of Brazil's most important highways as it cuts through the mountainous terrain.

🌇

Campinas Skyline

A sweeping view of the Campinas metropolitan area and the surrounding industrial parks as the plane aligns with the VCP runway.

🌿

Atibaia Region

Lush green landscapes and granite formations characteristic of the interior Atlantic Forest remnants.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun sets to the west, illuminating the Mantiqueira peaks in golden hues. Look for the distinct shape of the 'Serra do Lopo' near the border. During the final approach, the right side usually provides a better view of the VCP cargo terminals and airport infrastructure.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
⛰️

Northern Mantiqueira

The rugged northern slopes of the Mantiqueira range, showing the transition from Minas Gerais to São Paulo.

💧

Jaguari Reservoir

Large water bodies near the border of the two states, often reflecting the sky beautifully during midday.

🏘️

Bragança Paulista

A clear view of this major interior city nestled in the valley during the initial descent phase.

Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. This side provides a more stable light for photographing the green rolling hills of the Minas Gerais countryside before crossing into the industrial heart of São Paulo.
