Which side of the plane to sit from Viracopos International Airport (Campinas) to Bauru - Arealva Airport (Bauru)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a more diverse view of the interior's industrial powerhouses, including the winding Piracicaba river and the dense urban sprawl of the Campinas metropolitan region.
Campinas Skyline
A clear view of the dense high-rises and tech hubs of Brazil's largest non-capital city.
Piracicaba River
The winding waterway that passes through the historic and industrial heart of Piracicaba city.
Tietê-Paraná Waterway
Look for large cargo barges navigating the locks and wide stretches of this vital inland transport route.
Agro-Industrial Plants
Large-scale ethanol distilleries and sugar mills identifiable by their tall chimneys and massive storage tanks.
The right side is best for morning flights to avoid direct glare. During the descent into Bauru-Arealva, keep an eye out for the transition from flat farmland to the more rugged, red-earth terrain characteristic of the Bauru region.
Indaiatuba Urban Area
Visible immediately after takeoff, showcasing the rapid industrial growth of the VCP surroundings.
Sugar Cane Sea
Vast, undulating green and gold plantations that define the economic landscape of central São Paulo state.
Barra Bonita Reservoir
A massive expansion of the Tietê River used for hydroelectric power and regional tourism.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during late afternoon flights as the sun sets over the interior. Watch for the 'Cuesta' geological formations near Botucatu in the distance, which create a distinct plateau on the horizon.
