Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides the most dramatic views of Belém's urban sprawl and the complex river architecture of the Amazon delta near the destination.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌆

Belém Waterfront

Detailed views of the historical city center, the Estação das Docas, and the surrounding Guajará Bay upon departure.

🛶

Ribeirinho Life

Observations of small boats and stilt houses along the river banks as you descend into the delta region.

🌀

Furos de Breves

A spectacular view of the narrow, winding river channels that serve as the main natural highways of the region.

🌿

Dense Jungle

A sea of green canopy that highlights the immense biodiversity and scale of the Amazon basin.

Sit on the left for the best view of the sun hitting the river channels during late afternoon flights. This side is also preferred for seeing the city layout during the standard takeoff pattern from Val de Cans. Ensure you have a window seat to catch the transition from city to deep wilderness.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🌊

Marajó Bay

An expansive view of the massive water body that separates the mainland from the world's largest fluvial island.

🌾

Marajó Fields

The eastern part of the island features open grasslands and wetlands, contrasting with the dense forest elsewhere.

🦅

Delta Wildlife

Visible flocks of birds over the wetlands are common during the low-altitude approach to Breves Airport.

💧

Sediment Flows

Visual patterns created by the mixing of muddy river water with the clearer waters of the inner bay.

Right-side passengers get a better sense of the sheer scale of Marajó Island's interior. In the morning, this side offers softer lighting for photography of the flooded plains. Look for the distinct lack of roads, highlighting the island's isolation.
