Which side of the plane to sit from Governador José Richa Airport (Londrina) to Viracopos International Airport (Campinas)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the Londrina skyline and Lake Igapó upon departure, followed by excellent perspectives of the Paranapanema river system and the sprawling urban landscape of Campinas during the descent.
Londrina Skyline
Direct views of the high-rise buildings and the iconic Lake Igapó shortly after takeoff.
Paranapanema River
Stunning views of the winding river that serves as the natural border between PR and SP states.
Chavantes Dam
Clear views of the hydroelectric infrastructure and the vast blue waters of the reservoir.
Campinas Metropolitan Area
A comprehensive view of the high-density urban core of Campinas as the plane enters the landing pattern.
Sit on the right side for the most iconic views of Londrina's city center immediately after departure. For afternoon flights, this side receives the best golden hour lighting for photography of the reservoirs. On approach to VCP, look for the 'Rodovia dos Bandeirantes' and 'Rodovia Anhanguera' crossing the landscape.
Londrina North
Bird's eye view of the northern urban sprawl and the transition into rich agricultural land.
Terra Roxa Fields
Observation of the famous fertile red soil typical of Northern Paraná and Southern São Paulo.
Represa de Jurumirim
Views of the massive reservoir system created by the Paranapanema River to the north.
Serra do Japi
Distant views of this ecological reserve's dense Atlantic Forest during the final approach.
The left side is preferable on morning flights to avoid direct glare from the sun. During the approach to VCP, keep an eye out for the Jundiaí region and the green clusters of the Serra do Japi. This side often offers a better view of the runway and terminal if landing from the northwest.
