BELIMP

Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides the most dramatic views of the Guajará Bay during departure from Belém and follows the winding path of the Tocantins River during the approach into Imperatriz.

Right Side Highlights
8.2
🏙️

Belém Skyline

Panoramic views of the Guajará Bay and the high-rise buildings of the Belém waterfront during takeoff.

🌊

Tocantins River

The massive Tocantins River becomes a primary landmark as the flight prepares for its descent into Imperatriz.

🌉

Imperatriz Bridge

Clear views of the Dom Affonso Felippe Gregory Bridge connecting Maranhão and Tocantins states.

🚜

Agricultural Transition

Observation of the 'soy frontier' where rainforest gives way to large-scale farming plots.

The right side is essential for seeing the city of Imperatriz and the river on final approach. For late afternoon flights, the sun will be on this side, so bring sunglasses for the sunset over the Amazon delta.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🌳

Amazon Canopy

Uninterrupted views of the dense, deep green tropical rainforest canopy typical of eastern Pará.

🐍

Guamá River Curves

Intricate meanders of the Guamá River visible shortly after the aircraft levels off from its initial climb.

🏘️

Rural Settlements

Small agricultural clearings and isolated communities that punctuate the vast forest landscape.

Choose the left side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise reflecting off the forest mist. It offers a quieter perspective of the wilderness before the landscape transitions into the cerrado-like terrain near Maranhão.
