Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the initial climb out of Campinas and is generally the better side for spotting the iconic cone-shaped Maringá Cathedral during the approach and descent into MGF.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
✈️

Viracopos Terminal View

A great perspective of the airport layout and the cargo apron right after takeoff from runway 15.

🌾

Interior Paulista

Expansive views of the sugarcane and citrus plantations that dominate the landscape of central-west São Paulo.

🌊

Paranapanema River

Scenic meanders of the river near the city of Ourinhos as the flight enters Paraná airspace.

⛪

Maringá Cathedral

The striking 124-meter tall cone of the Catedral Basílica Menor is frequently visible on the right during the final approach.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights as the sun moves behind the aircraft. On approach to MGF, watch closely as the plane enters the pattern; the Maringá Cathedral is the most distinct landmark in the skyline.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏗️

Campinas Industrial Belt

Aerial view of the logistics hubs and manufacturing centers surrounding the Viracopos area during initial climb.

💧

Chavantes Reservoir

Massive blue water expanse of the Paranapanema River, forming a natural border between São Paulo and Paraná states.

🚜

Terra Roxa Farmlands

The transition into Northern Paraná reveals the famous deep-red soil and highly organized agricultural patterns.

🏙️

Londrina Skyline

Depending on the flight corridor, the high-rise buildings of Londrina are often visible to the south before descending.

Choose the left side for morning flights (typically departing before 10:00 AM) to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. This side is excellent for viewing the vast hydro-topography of the Paranapanema border region.
