Which side of the plane to sit from Val de Cans/Júlio Cezar Ribeiro International Airport (Belem) to João Correa da Rocha Airport (Maraba)?

Search flights from BEL to MAB
Ilha das Onças
Large river islands and complex water channels surrounding the Belém metropolitan area.
Tocantins River
Consistent views of the wide, winding Tocantins River which the flight path follows southwards.
Tucuruí Reservoir
Possible distant views to the west of the massive reservoir created by one of the world's largest dams.
River Confluence
The spectacular 'Meeting of the Waters' where the Itacaiúnas River joins the Tocantins at Marabá.
The right side is essential for the arrival phase. As the plane descends into MAB, you get a clear view of the city built at the junction of two major rivers. For afternoon flights, the sun reflects beautifully off the water, though it can be quite bright.

Belém Urban Core
Dense skyline and historic districts of the Pará state capital visible immediately after takeoff.
Amazon Canopy
Endless stretches of dense tropical rainforest providing a perspective on the world's largest biodiversity hub.
Agricultural Frontiers
Clear visual patterns showing the transition from forest to agricultural land and cattle ranching.
Tropical Cloudscapes
Massive towering cumulus clouds and localized rain showers common in the equatorial afternoon.
Choose the left side for morning flights (usually departures around 9 AM to 11 AM) to avoid the intense tropical sun glare. This side provides a better perspective on the urban layout of Belém if the aircraft departs toward the north before turning south.
