VCP → GYN
Which side of the plane to sit from Viracopos International Airport (Campinas) to Santa Genoveva Airport (Goiania)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the major urban centers and the expansive reservoir systems along the border of Sao Paulo and Minas Gerais.
Ribeirao Preto
A clear view of one of the largest and most prosperous urban centers in the interior of Sao Paulo state.
Furnas Reservoirs
Massive hydroelectric dams and flooded canyons that create a stark blue contrast against the green landscape.
Uberlandia and Uberaba
The flight path typically passes close to these two major Triangulo Mineiro cities, offering excellent urban photography.
Goias Plateaus
As you approach Goiania, look for the 'Chapadas' or flat-topped mountains typical of the Central Brazilian Highlands.
Sit here on morning flights for the best illumination of the landscape without the sun in your eyes. This side is more 'eventful' with city sightings like Ribeirao Preto and Uberlandia. During descent into GYN, you often get a better view of the city center if the aircraft approaches from the south.
Campinas Outskirts
View the industrial and residential development of the Campinas metropolitan area shortly after takeoff.
Rio Grande Meanders
The natural curves of the Rio Grande river marking the transition between Sao Paulo and Minas Gerais states.
Agricultural Grid
Vast stretches of sugarcane and soybean plantations characterized by deep red soil and geometric patterns.
Cerrado Sunset
On late afternoon flights, this side provides an unobstructed view of the sun setting over the flat horizon.
Choose this side for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset, though glare can be intense. It is better for observing the raw agricultural landscape of the interior. Look for the Paranaiba River as you cross into Goias.
