Which side of the plane to sit from Viracopos International Airport (Campinas) to Governador José Richa Airport (Londrina)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the massive reservoirs along the Paranapanema River and the transition into the vibrant red-soil agricultural landscapes of northern Paraná.
Chavantes Reservoir
A massive and beautiful body of water on the border of SP and PR, known for its deep blue color.
Capivara Dam
One of the largest hydroelectric reservoirs in the region, offering intricate shoreline patterns.
Terra Roxa Fields
The iconic deep-red fertile soil of northern Paraná becomes highly visible during the descent into Londrina.
Londrina Skyline
Excellent views of 'Little London' and its dense cluster of skyscrapers as the aircraft aligns with runway 13/31.
The right side is the clear winner for geographic landmarks. Choose this side for morning flights to have the sun behind you, illuminating the red soil and blue reservoirs perfectly. Look for the wide Paranapanema River which acts as the natural border between the two states.
Campinas Outskirts
Aerial view of the industrial hubs and residential sprawl surrounding Viracopos immediately after takeoff.
Agricultural Patchwork
Vast stretches of sugarcane and citrus plantations characteristic of the São Paulo state interior.
Jurumirim Reservoir
Distant views of the Paranapanema river system's southern reaches near the border of São Paulo.
Atlantic Forest Remnants
Small patches of protected native forest interspersed between large-scale commercial farms.
Sit on the left if you want to see the urbanization of Campinas during takeoff. During late afternoon flights, this side will be away from the direct setting sun, providing softer light for photos of the countryside.
