Search flights from BEL to CKS
Belém Skyline
Stunning views of the historic city center, the Ver-o-Peso market, and the bustling Baía do Guajará port during departure.
Rio Tocantins
A grand crossing of one of Brazil's major waterways, often revealing large sandbanks and river traffic far below.
Carajás Mines
A spectacular view of the world's largest high-grade iron ore pits, featuring striking red terraced excavations.
Carajás National Forest
The sharp boundary where the industrial mining activity meets the lush, protected biodiversity of the Serra dos Carajás.
This is the 'must-see' side for the approach into CKS. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing for the mining pits. Afternoon flights provide excellent lighting for the red-tinted soil of the mines.

Rio Guamá
Aerial perspective of the winding river and the unique riverside communities on the southern outskirts of Belém.
Amazon Canopy
Continuous stretches of dense, untouched rainforest providing a massive green carpet perspective during the cruise.
Parauapebas Outskirts
View of the rapidly expanding urban footprint and the local road networks that feed the mining infrastructure.
Sit near the back to avoid wing obstruction of the forest canopy. Morning flights are ideal as the rising sun illuminates the eastern side of the terrain without creating excessive glare.
