Which side of the plane to sit from Lauro Carneiro de Loyola Airport (Joinville) to Viracopos International Airport (Campinas)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers breathtaking views of the Babitonga Bay islands, the dramatic escarpment of the Serra do Mar, and the stunning coastline of Paraná and São Paulo before turning inland toward Campinas.
Babitonga Bay
A magnificent vista of the bay's numerous islands and the historic town of São Francisco do Sul.
Atlantic Coastline
Striking views of the beaches spanning from Itapoá to the southern coast of São Paulo state.
Serra do Mar Ridges
Dramatic views of the steep mountain cliffs where the coastal forest meets the clouds.
Port of Paranaguá
One of South America's busiest maritime hubs visible on clear days during the climb.
Campinas Skyline
A panoramic approach view of the urban sprawl and industrial complexes surrounding Viracopos.
For the best experience, book a window seat away from the wing to see the coastal drop-off. Morning flights provide the best natural light for photographing the coastline and the blue waters of the bay. Be alert during the first 15 minutes of flight for the most scenic landmarks.
Joinville City Center
Detailed view of the 'City of Flowers' and the industrial hubs of northern Santa Catarina shortly after takeoff.
Serra Dona Francisca
Glimpses of the winding mountain roads and the dense Atlantic Forest canopy of the interior plateau.
Agricultural Patchwork
Vast geometric patterns of soybean and corn fields characteristic of the interior of São Paulo state.
Tietê River Basin
Aerial view of the winding rivers and reservoirs that power the industrial heartland of Brazil.
Choose this side during early morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and glare. It is the better side for observing the transition from the mountainous coast to the flatter agricultural interior of São Paulo.
