RAOUDI

Our Recommendation
7.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior vantage point for the dense urban skyline of Ribeirao Preto upon departure, followed by a direct view of the massive Volta Grande Reservoir and the city of Uberaba during the cruise phase.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏢

Ribeirao Skyline

Excellent views of the high-rise buildings and the 'California Brasileira' urban core shortly after takeoff.

⚡

Volta Grande Dam

The massive reservoir and hydroelectric infrastructure on the Rio Grande provide a striking blue contrast to the red soil.

🏘️

Uberaba Cityscape

A clear view of the city of Uberaba, a major regional hub, roughly midway through the flight.

🚜

Agro-Landscapes

A detailed look at the organized agricultural plots and the transitioning topography of the Minas Gerais plateau.

The right side is the better choice for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. For the best experience, look out about 15 minutes into the flight to see the Rio Grande; the contrast between the water and the red earth of the Triangulo Mineiro is most vivid around midday.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🏙️

Ribeirao Suburbs

View of the northwestern expansion and industrial districts of Ribeirao Preto during initial climb.

🛣️

Rodovia Anhanguera

The major SP-330 highway is often visible, cutting through the vast sugarcane plantations.

🌊

Rio Grande Crossing

Aerial view of the natural border between Sao Paulo and Minas Gerais states.

🌅

Western Horizons

Expansive views of the Triangulo Mineiro plains, particularly stunning during late afternoon flights.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset over the Brazilian cerrado. It provides a great perspective of the agricultural landscape geometry, especially the patchwork of sugarcane and coffee plantations typical of this region.
