Amazon Canopy
Dense, uninterrupted rainforest views shortly after departing the Belém metropolitan area.
Araguaia River Valley
Views of the meandering Araguaia River, known for its seasonal sandbars and the massive Bananal Island to the west.
Monumental Axis
The heart of the Brazilian capital, including the National Congress, the Cathedral, and the Ministries Esplanade.
Lake Paranoá
The expansive man-made lake that borders the capital, often shimmering under the bright Cerrado sun.
JK Bridge
The iconic three-arch bridge spanning Lake Paranoá, a masterpiece of modern Brazilian architecture.
The right side is the 'money seat' for Brasília. Most landings approach from the west or south, putting the National Congress and the 'airplane' fuselage (Plano Piloto) directly in your window. For late afternoon flights, you'll also get a stunning sunset over the central plateau.

Guamá River
Aerial view of the massive river delta and the urban waterfront of Belém immediately after takeoff.
Tucuruí Dam Area
Distant views of the massive Tocantins River hydroelectric projects and the changing landscape of Pará.
Serra da Mesa Reservoir
One of Brazil's largest man-made lakes, appearing as a deep blue turquoise expanse amidst the green hills of Goiás.
North Wing (Asa Norte)
The northern residential block of Brasília, showcasing the city's unique 'airplane' shape layout upon arrival.
Sit on the left if you are taking an early morning flight to see the sunrise over the Amazon basin. During the approach to BSB, this side is better if the plane enters from the east, providing a view of the northern residential sectors and Lake Paranoá.
