Search flights from VCP to MCZ
Atlantic Coastline
As the plane nears the Northeast, enjoy views of the deep blue Atlantic meeting the golden sands of the coast.
Salvador & Bay of All Saints
Often visible from cruise altitude, look for the large bay and the historic capital of Bahia.
Sao Francisco River Delta
Spot the massive mouth of the 'River of National Unity' as it flows into the ocean at the border of Sergipe and Alagoas.
Maceio Coral Reefs
During the descent, witness the stunning turquoise waters and the famous natural pools of Pajucara and Ponta Verde.
Book a window seat on the right for morning flights to see the coastline illuminated by the sun. The highlight is the final 15 minutes of the flight; ensure your window shade is up early to catch the transition from deep ocean blue to the bright turquoise reefs of the Alagoas coast.

Serra da Mantiqueira
Early in the flight, view the rugged peaks and rolling green hills separating Sao Paulo and Minas Gerais.
Belo Horizonte Region
Depending on the specific airway, look for the sprawling urban expanse of the Minas Gerais capital in the distance.
Sertao Landscapes
Observe the unique semi-arid terrain of the Bahia interior with its distinct vegetation and dry riverbeds.
Sunset Horizon
On late afternoon flights, this side provides a front-row seat to the sun setting over the vast Brazilian interior.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights to avoid direct sunlight glare if you prefer a cooler cabin, or to catch the sunset. Keep an eye out for the Sao Francisco river crossing, which can appear as a silver ribbon through the dry landscape.
