VCP → AQA
Which side of the plane to sit from Viracopos International Airport (Campinas) to Araraquara Airport (Araracuara)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers a more diverse view of the urban industrial corridor and the organized agricultural patterns characteristic of central São Paulo.
Metropolitan Campinas
Dense urban clusters and skyscrapers visible during the initial climb out of VCP airport.
Major Road Networks
A birds-eye view of the complex intersection of the Anhanguera and Bandeirantes highways.
São Carlos Hub
Clear view of the city center known for its universities and technological parks.
Aviation Landmarks
The massive hangars and airfield of the former TAM Museum site near São Carlos.
Morning flights provide the best lighting for the Right Side without sun glare. Look out for the massive aviation facilities near São Carlos which are a regional landmark. This side offers better views of the highway infrastructure that defines the state's economy.
Serra do Itaqueri
Rugged geological formations known as cuestas visible near Itirapina.
Represa do Broa
A large blue reservoir contrasting sharply with the surrounding green landscape.
Agricultural Tapestry
Endless rows of sugar cane and citrus groves stretching toward the western horizon.
Western Horizon
Wide-open views of the sunset on late-day departures across the interior plains.
Sit on this side for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the horizon. The geological cuestas are most prominent mid-flight. Be aware that during the dry season (July-September), visibility can be slightly impacted by agricultural haze.
