VCP → CCM
Which side of the plane to sit from Viracopos International Airport (Campinas) to Diomício Freitas Airport (Criciuma)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior scenic experience as the flight path typically tracks parallel to the Brazilian coastline, offering views of the Atlantic Ocean, the Emerald Coast, and the island of Florianópolis.

São Paulo Periphery
Shortly after takeoff from VCP, witness the massive urban sprawl of the Greater São Paulo metropolitan area to the southeast.
Santa Catarina Coastline
Stunning views of the rugged coastline, including the high-rise skyline of Balneário Camboriú and the Penha peninsula.
Ilha de Santa Catarina
A prime view of Florianópolis, showing the island's lagoons, white sand beaches, and the Hercílio Luz Bridge during clear approaches.
Serra do Mar
The dense, green Atlantic Forest covering the mountain ranges that separate the high plateau from the coastal plains.
Port of Imbituba
As the flight nears Criciuma, look for the industrial port and the beautiful bay of Praia do Rosa.
For the best experience, book a morning flight to have the sun behind the aircraft, illuminating the coastline without glare. The descent into the southern region often passes directly over the Florianópolis shoreline, making the left side essential for photographers.

Araucária Forests
Look for the distinctive silhouettes of the Brazilian Pine (Araucária) trees dotting the high-altitude plateaus of Santa Catarina.
Serra Geral Canyons
During the descent toward CCM, you can spot the distant, dramatic edges of the southern plateau canyons in the horizon.
Morro da Igreja Region
On clear days, the high peaks of the Santa Catarina mountains are visible to the west as the plane heads south.
The right side is preferable on late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the inland mountains. It also provides a better view of the rugged terrain transitions during the final approach into the Forquilhinha/Criciuma basin.
