Mariuá Archipelago
One of the world's largest river archipelagos located right near Barcelos, featuring hundreds of thin, forested islands.
Anavilhanas Archipelago
A breathtaking labyrinth of over 400 islands forming a complex ecological mosaic near the flight's end.
Ponte Rio Negro
The massive bridge connecting Manaus to Iranduba is clearly visible on the final approach.
Ponta Negra
Manaus's most famous river beach and upscale waterfront district seen shortly before landing.
The right side is essential for seeing the archipelagos. Use polarized sunglasses to reduce the sun's glare reflecting off the dark water, which enhances the contrast between the islands and the river. Sit toward the front to avoid engine heat distortion.

Rio Negro Meanders
Spectacular views of the deep, tea-colored waters of the Rio Negro winding through the basin.
Intact Rainforest
Vast, unbroken stretches of primary Amazonian canopy stretching toward the northern horizon.
Manaus Urban Edge
Watch the sudden transition from dense jungle to the bustling industrial and residential outskirts of Manaus.
Choose a seat ahead of the wing for the clearest view of the river's path. Morning flights are ideal to avoid the convective cloud buildup typical of Amazonian afternoons, which can obscure the forest floor.
