Brasília Urban Plan
A stunning aerial view of the 'Asa Norte' and the structural symmetry of the Federal District's central core.
Chapada dos Veadeiros
Distant views of the ancient high-altitude plateaus and quartz rock formations of the national park to the north.
Western Bahia Plateaus
The impressive transition into Brazil's agricultural heartland, featuring massive, geometric soy and cotton fields.
Serra da Bandeira
The dramatic limestone escarpments that define the landscape as you approach the Barreiras valley.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the harsh tropical glare. This side provides the best view of the Plano Piloto's northern wing during a standard northbound departure. During the rainy season (October to March), look for dramatic lightning storms over the Cerrado in the late afternoon.
