Which side of the plane to sit from Araguaína Airport (Araguaina) to Brigadeiro Lysias Rodrigues Airport (Palmas)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers spectacular views of the Tocantins River valley and the dramatic sandstone cliffs of the Serra do Lajeado during the descent into Palmas.
Tocantins River
The aircraft often tracks parallel to this major waterway, offering glimpses of its winding path through the landscape.
Serra do Lajeado
Dramatic plateau formations and red cliffs that provide a stunning backdrop as you approach the capital.
Lajeado Reservoir
A massive body of water created by the Luis Eduardo Magalhaes dam, looking like an inland sea.
Fernando Henrique Cardoso Bridge
The impressive 8-kilometer bridge connecting Palmas to the district of Luzimangues over the reservoir.
Palmas Grid
The unique, planned architectural layout of Brazil's youngest state capital, visible during final approach.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the western sun while the light perfectly illuminates the Serra do Lajeado cliffs. The final 15 minutes of the flight are the most scenic as the plane descends over the water toward PMW airport.
Agricultural Mosaics
Vast stretches of soy and corn plantations showing the geometric patterns of Brazilian agribusiness.
Cerrado Biome
Expansive views of the native Brazilian savanna, characterized by twisted trees and unique vegetation.
Sunset Horizons
If flying in the late afternoon, this side offers unobstructed views of the vibrant orange and red tropical sunset.
Tropical Cloudscapes
During the rainy season, watch for massive towering cumulus clouds that frequently form over the hot interior.
Choose this side if you are flying in the late afternoon or evening to witness the sunset over the horizon. During the dry season (May to September), keep an eye out for the distinct transition between the green river valleys and the golden-brown dry savanna.
