Which side of the plane to sit from Viracopos International Airport (Campinas) to Bahia - Jorge Amado Airport (Ilheus)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a front-row seat to the stunning Brazilian coastline, featuring the contrast between the turquoise Atlantic Ocean and the emerald green of the Cocoa Coast.
Espírito Santo Coastline
Breathtaking views of the rugged shores and beaches near Vitória and Vila Velha.
Abrolhos Region
On clear days, the distant turquoise waters of the coral reefs and marine park are visible.
Cururupe and Olivença Beaches
The white sands and coconut groves south of Ilhéus during the final descent.
Ilhéus Urban Approach
A low-altitude view of the city center and the Pontal neighborhood just before touchdown.
Oceanic Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Atlantic, particularly stunning during afternoon flights.
The right side is undoubtedly the best for scenic lovers. For the most dramatic arrival, sit on the right to see the 'Costa do Cacau' (Cocoa Coast) unfold. During landing at IOS, the aircraft often flies low over the shoreline, providing an incredible view of the waves crashing against the beach. Choose an afternoon flight for the best photographic lighting on the coastline and to avoid the morning sun glare.
Campinas Metropolitan Area
Aerial view of the industrial and technological hub of São Paulo state immediately after takeoff.
Serra da Mantiqueira
Views of the high peaks and valleys marking the border between São Paulo and Minas Gerais.
Atlantic Forest Reserves
Expansive stretches of protected tropical rainforest as the flight crosses into southern Bahia.
Jequitinhonha Valley
The winding riverbeds and rugged interior topography of northern Minas Gerais.
The left side is preferable for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun reflecting off the ocean. It provides a more terrestrial view of the rugged interior terrain and the transition from urban centers to dense forest. Keep an eye out for the vast eucalyptus plantations that characterize the landscape of southern Bahia.
