Flight Path
Campinas to Londrina is 255 miles (410 km), a flight of about 55 minutes.
The flight path crosses the agricultural plateau of interior São Paulo and northern Paraná state. Notable features include the Mogi-Guaçu River system (visible from mid-flight on the left), extensive sugarcane and soybean fields dominating the landscape, and the gradual transition from higher elevation plateau terrain near Campinas to slightly lower terrain approaching Londrina. The Paraná Plateau's edge becomes apparent in the final approach phase. No major mountain ranges or dramatic topography—this is relatively flat to gently rolling agricultural terrain throughout.
