Which side of the plane to sit from Viracopos International Airport (Campinas) to Governador Aluízio Alves International Airport (Natal)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers spectacular views of the Brazilian coastline, including major cities like Salvador and Recife, and the iconic sand dunes of Natal upon arrival.
Salvador & All Saints Bay
Aerial perspective of the historic city of Salvador and the largest bay in Brazil.
Recife & Olinda
The striking contrast of urban skyscrapers against the coral reefs and turquoise waters of the Atlantic.
Costa dos Corais
Glimpse the stunning turquoise shoreline and reefs along the coast of Alagoas and Pernambuco.
Morro do Careca
The famous sand dune and landmark of Ponta Negra beach visible during the final approach to Natal.
For the most scenic experience, sit on the right side during afternoon flights to see the sunlight illuminating the coastline. During the descent into Natal, keep your camera ready for the stunning transition from the blue ocean to the white sand dunes that define the region's geography.
Serra do Espinhaço
View the extensive mountain range stretching through Minas Gerais with its unique geological formations.
São Francisco River
Spot the 'River of National Integration' as it winds through the semi-arid landscape of the Brazilian interior.
Sertão Landscapes
Observe the unique Caatinga vegetation and the stark beauty of the dry hinterlands of Bahia.
Chapada Diamantina
Distant views of the dramatic plateaus and mesas of one of Brazil's most famous national parks.
The left side is ideal for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun. It provides a deeper look into the vast Brazilian interior and the rugged topography of the 'Sertão' region. Watch for the dramatic color shifts in the soil from deep red to pale tan.
