Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers spectacular views of the Atlantic coastline and the vibrant turquoise waters of the Discovery Coast during the final approach into Porto Seguro.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Atlantic Horizon

Expansive views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean as the flight path aligns parallel to the Brazilian coastline.

🏖️

Trancoso and Arraial d'Ajuda

Stunning aerial views of high cliffs, white sand beaches, and luxury resorts just south of Porto Seguro.

🪸

Coral Reef Systems

The clear waters of the Abrolhos Bank region reveal complex underwater reef formations and varying shades of turquoise.

✈️

Porto Seguro Coastline

A panoramic view of the destination's historic center and the mouth of the Buranhém River during the final descent.

The right side is essential for the iconic 'arrival view' of Bahia. For the best experience, book an afternoon flight when the sun is behind the aircraft, illuminating the bright blues and greens of the coastal reefs. Look out for the colorful cliffs of Trancoso during the descent.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🏙️

Campinas Skyline

A clear view of the urban sprawl and industrial parks of the Campinas metropolitan area immediately after takeoff.

⛰️

Serra da Mantiqueira

Rugged mountain peaks and valleys marking the transition between the states of São Paulo and Minas Gerais.

☕

Minas Agricultural Heartland

Aerial perspective of the vast coffee plantations and rolling green hills characteristic of the interior of Minas Gerais.

🌳

Monte Pascoal

The historic mountain seen by the Portuguese in 1500, visible in the distance as the flight heads north.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight and enjoy the soft light hitting the mountains of Minas Gerais. This side is better for observing the inland geography and agricultural patterns of Brazil's interior.
