Xingu River 'Volta Grande'
The dramatic 'Big Bend' of the Xingu River, showcasing its unique turquoise-to-dark water hues against the forest.
Belo Monte Complex
One of the world's largest hydroelectric projects, visible shortly after takeoff from Altamira.
Amazon River Mainline
A breathtaking aerial view of the world's largest river as the flight path crosses the main channel mid-route.
Primary Rainforest Canopy
Expansive stretches of untouched tropical jungle stretching to the horizon.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Xingu River's complex network. For photography, use a fast shutter speed to capture the texture of the forest canopy. The morning sun (for North-Northwest flights) will be on the right, making the left side better for glare-free photos.

Curuá-Una River Basin
Intricate patterns of smaller blackwater tributaries winding through the dense green landscape.
Lake Sapucuá
A large, scenic lake near the Trombetas River, visible during the final descent into Oriximiná.
Oriximiná Waterfront
The bustling riverport of Oriximiná comes into view as the aircraft lines up for landing.
Cumulus Cloud Formations
Classic Amazonian towering clouds often form on this side, creating dramatic lighting over the jungle.
The right side is excellent for viewing the approach into Oriximiná. Watch for the distinct 'meeting of waters' where the clear Trombetas water mixes with the sediment-heavy Amazon water near the destination. Be aware that afternoon sun can cause significant glare on this side.
