Our Recommendation
8.7

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft offers spectacular views of the Atlantic coastline, the skyscrapers of Balneário Camboriú, and the complex island systems of the northern Santa Catarina and Paraná coasts.

Right Side Highlights
8.7
🏙️

Balneário Camboriú Skyline

Visible shortly after takeoff, catch a glimpse of the 'Dubai of Brazil' featuring the tallest residential skyscrapers in South America.

🏝️

Baía da Babitonga

An expansive bay near Joinville filled with dozens of small islands and intricate mangrove systems.

🌊

Lagamar Region

The pristine coastal estuary system near the border of Paraná and São Paulo, known for its untouched beaches and inlets.

🌲

Serra do Japi

During the final descent into VCP, look for this large preserved forest area that marks the entrance to the Jundiaí-Campinas region.

Sit on the right side for the most iconic views. For morning flights, the sun will be over the ocean, so bring sunglasses or a polarizing filter for photos. The most dramatic views of the coast occur in the first 20 minutes and during the final approach into the interior. If the flight path stays coastal, you might even see the Port of Santos in the distance.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
⛰️

Serra do Mar Range

Dense, emerald-green Atlantic Forest mountain ranges that run parallel to the coast, often shrouded in misty clouds.

🌿

Vale do Itajaí

The lush, inland valley of Santa Catarina, famous for its European-influenced landscape and winding river systems.

🚜

São Paulo Interior

Vast agricultural landscapes and expanding urban centers as you cross from the coast into the plateau toward Campinas.

The left side is preferable for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun setting over the continent. It provides a more stable view of the rugged terrain and the vastness of the Atlantic Forest reserves. Keep an eye out for the transition from the coastal mountains to the high plateaus of the interior.
