São Francisco River Mouth
The dramatic meeting point where the massive brown river water blends into the deep blue ocean.
Piaçabuçu Dunes
Bright white coastal sand dunes that create a sharp contrast with the surrounding vegetation and sea.
Costa dos Corais
The beginning of the famous reef system, showing patches of light turquoise and emerald green water.
Lagoa do Roteiro
The breathtaking lagoon and cliff formations near Barra de São Miguel just before the descent into Maceio.
The right side is the clear winner for scenic beauty. For the most vibrant water colors, book a morning flight when the sun is behind the plane. Keep your camera ready about 10-15 minutes into the flight for the São Francisco delta, which is the geographical highlight of this route.
