Teresina Cityscape
An immediate view of the 'Mesopotamia of the Northeast' nestled between the Parnaíba and Poti rivers after takeoff.
Southern Piauí Terrain
The intricate textures of the semi-arid Caatinga landscape and unique rocky outcrops of the southern Piauí plateau.
São Francisco River
A crossing of the legendary 'Old Chico,' the most vital waterway in the Brazilian Northeast, often visible near the border with Bahia.
Serra do Espinhaço
Distal views of the rugged mountain ridges that run through Minas Gerais, creating a jagged horizon to the east.
Furnas Reservoir
The vast, branch-like blue expanse of the 'Sea of Minas,' one of the largest artificial lakes in the world, during the descent.
Campinas Urban Area
The dense metropolitan sprawl and industrial clusters of the Paulista interior as the aircraft aligns for the VCP runway.
For the best experience, choose a flight departing in the early morning to see the São Francisco river glisten, but be prepared for some sun glare. The approach into VCP often circles from the east, providing a great view of the metropolitan region on this side.
