Marajó Island
View the world's largest fluvial-marine island, appearing as a vast mosaic of wetlands and forests to the north of Belem.
Sediment Plumes
The dramatic visual of brown, nutrient-rich Amazon water pushing miles out into the blue Atlantic Ocean.
Guiana Coastline
Clear views of the French Guiana coast, including the rugged shoreline and mangroves near Cayenne.
Belem Skyline
A stunning view of the dense urban center of Belem and its bustling port area during the initial ascent.
The right side is the prime choice for coastal geography and river dynamics. Mid-day flights provide the best vertical lighting to see the color contrast between the river silt and the sea. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff for the Amazon delta transition.

Amazon Rainforest
Endless stretches of the world's densest tropical canopy visible shortly after takeoff from Belem.
Araguari River
Aerial views of the winding, tea-colored rivers that snake through the remote Amapá region.
Interior Highlands
Distal views of the Tumucumaque mountain ranges as the aircraft approaches the Suriname border.
Ideal for those wanting to witness the sheer scale of the interior jungle. Morning flights are preferred to avoid the typical afternoon cloud build-up common in tropical regions. Look for small clearings that indicate remote river settlements deep in the forest.
