The ancient, rocky formations of the Espinhaço mountains, known for their unique biodiversity and diamond-mining history.

Incredible views of Atalaia Beach and the Orla de Aracaju during the descent into the city.
Sergipe River Estuary
The intricate meeting of the Sergipe River and the ocean, featuring mangroves and sandbars just before touchdown.
This is the premier choice for the VCP-AJU route. Sit on the right to see the mountains early in the flight. On arrival, most flight paths bank over the ocean, giving right-side passengers a panoramic view of the Aracaju coast. Morning flights provide the best lighting for photography on this side.

A clear view of the urban sprawl of Campinas and the high-tech industrial parks surrounding Viracopos immediately after takeoff.
Minas Gerais Interior
Vast stretches of the Brazilian cerrado and rolling hills characteristic of the agricultural heartland of Minas Gerais.
São Francisco River
The massive 'River of National Unity' can often be spotted winding through the semi-arid landscape as you head north.
Sunset Horizon
On late afternoon flights, this side offers a front-row seat to the sun setting over the vast interior of the country.
Choose this side if you are flying in the late afternoon to avoid direct glare while still enjoying the sunset. It is also the best side for observing the transition from the lush southeastern vegetation to the drier landscapes of the interior sertão.
