Which side of the plane to sit from Presidente Juscelino Kubistschek International Airport (Brasilia) to Marechal Rondon Airport (Cuiaba)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a front-row seat to the breathtaking red sandstone cliffs of Chapada dos Guimarães during the final descent into Cuiabá, arguably the most scenic moment of the flight.

Northern Pilot Plan
Detailed views of the northern administrative wings and the expansive blue waters of Lake Paranoá during initial ascent.
Cerrado Biosphere
Observation of the unique 'Cerrado' savanna vegetation, characterized by twisted trees and high biodiversity.
Chapada dos Guimarães
The flight's crown jewel: spectacular views of the massive red cliffs and canyons of the National Park during descent.
Cuiabá Skyline
A clear view of the rapidly growing urban sprawl of Cuiabá and Várzea Grande as the aircraft lines up for landing.
The right side is non-negotiable for photography enthusiasts interested in the Chapada dos Guimarães cliffs. Aim for an afternoon flight; the setting sun illuminates the red sandstone walls with a brilliant orange glow just before arrival at CGB. Ensure you are seated forward or aft of the wing to prevent the engine from obstructing the cliff views.

Brasília Southern Wing
View of the southern residential blocks and the iconic JK Bridge spanning across Lake Paranoá shortly after takeoff.
Agricultural Heartland
Expansive views of the massive soy and corn plantations that define the economic landscape of Goiás and Mato Grosso.
Rio Araguaia Tributaries
Multiple winding river systems that eventually feed into the Araguaia basin, cutting through the red earth.
Pantanal Fringe
Glimpses of the seasonal wetlands and flooded grasslands that begin to emerge south of the Cuiabá metropolitan area.
Sit on the left if you want a better view of the southern portion of Brasília's Pilot Plan upon departure. This side is also better for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the tropical sun as you travel westward.
