Which side of the plane to sit from Eurico de Aguiar Salles Airport (Vitoria) to Deputado Luiz Eduardo Magalhães International Airport (Salvador)?
Right Side of the Plane
Flying north along the 'Costa do Descobrimento' provides unparalleled views of coral reefs, red cliffs, and the turquoise Atlantic coastline of Bahia.
Linhares Lagoons
View the vast freshwater systems, including Lagoa Juparanã, one of the largest in Brazil.
Abrolhos Marine Park
Spot the turquoise waters and coral structures of this world-renowned marine sanctuary.
Discovery Coast
The iconic red cliffs of Trancoso and the historic coastline of Porto Seguro.
Tinharé Archipelago
The stunning islands of Morro de São Paulo and Boipeba surrounded by crystal clear waters.
Bay of All Saints
The massive 'Baía de Todos os Santos' and the historic skyline of Salvador upon arrival.
The right side is the definitive choice for scenery. For the best water colors, book a flight between 10 AM and 2 PM when the sun is high. Look for the distinct change in water color near the river mouths and coral reefs of southern Bahia.
Mestre Álvaro
A massive coastal mountain dominating the landscape immediately after takeoff from Vitória.
Coffee and Eucalyptus
Intricate agricultural patterns of the Espírito Santo interior and southern Bahia plantations.
Rio Doce Valley
The wide path of the Rio Doce as it winds through the interior toward the coast.
Cocoa Region Hills
Lush, rolling green hills of the 'Costa do Cacau' interior as you approach southern Bahia.
Salvador Metro
Dense urban sprawl and the northern expansion of the Bahian capital during the final descent.
Choose the left side for dramatic mountain views near VIX and a bird's-eye view of the city growth in Salvador. Morning flights are ideal on this side to avoid the harsh glare of the sun over the ocean.
