Which side of the plane to sit from Viracopos International Airport (Campinas) to Presidente Prudente Airport (President Prudente)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Tietê River and the massive Barra Bonita reservoir, along with a clearer view of the Campinas urban sprawl shortly after takeoff.
Campinas Metropolitan Area
An expansive view of Brazil's 14th most populous city and its surrounding technical hubs right after departure.
Tietê River Meanders
Follow the winding path of the state's most famous river as it flows toward the Paraná.
Barra Bonita Reservoir
A massive and spectacular body of water formed by the dam, often showing boats and significant hydraulic infrastructure.
Botucatu Cuesta
Dramatic basaltic ridges and cuestas visible in the distance, marking the transition in the state's topography.
Citrus Belt
Aerial views of some of the world's most productive orange groves near Limeira and Araraquara.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing for the best view of the Barra Bonita dam. Morning flights are ideal for this side as the sun will be behind the aircraft, illuminating the river systems and reservoirs with high clarity and minimal haze.
Indaiatuba Industrial Hub
Visible immediately after takeoff, showcasing the industrial expansion of the Campinas metropolitan region.
Agricultural Mosaic
Vast, colorful patterns of sugarcane and orange plantations that define the landscape of interior São Paulo.
Marília Skyline
The dense high-rise clusters of Marília are often visible on the southern horizon during the latter half of the flight.
Raposo Tavares Highway
Trace the path of the SP-270 highway which acts as a primary artery for the state's western development.
Southern Sunset
During winter months, the sun sets further north, providing a soft, long-lasting golden glow on this side.
Sit on this side for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun, as the flight path is mostly westward. It is the better side for viewing the dense agricultural patchwork of the 'Alta Paulista' region during descent into Presidente Prudente.
