RAOGYN

Our Recommendation
7.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side is generally superior for this route as it offers direct views of Uberaba's urban center and provides a better perspective of the Goiânia skyline during the standard approach into Santa Genoveva Airport.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Ribeirão Preto Skyline

Excellent views of the densely packed high-rises of downtown Ribeirão Preto immediately after takeoff from RAO.

🏘️

Uberaba Cityscape

The flight path often passes directly to the west of Uberaba, giving passengers on the right an unobstructed view of the city.

🌊

Volta Grande Reservoir

Stunning views of the deep blue waters and complex shorelines of the hydroelectric dams along the Rio Grande.

📍

Goiânia Urban Core

On final approach, the right side usually provides the best angle of the Goiânia Metropolitan Area and its central parks.

For the best experience, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the red soil and green fields. Watch closely about 20 minutes into the flight for the crossing of the Rio Grande, which is the most scenic geographic milestone of the trip.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🚜

Agribusiness Heartland

Vast stretches of sugarcane and soybean plantations that define the landscape of northern São Paulo state.

💧

Rio Grande Border

A clear view of the massive river that serves as the natural border between São Paulo and Minas Gerais.

🌳

Goiás Cerrado

The transition into the distinctive savanna-like vegetation and plateau formations as you enter central Brazil.

Sit on the left if you are flying during the late afternoon to avoid the direct glare of the setting sun. This side is better for observing the geometric precision of the large-scale industrial farms near the border of the two states.
