This side also offers a better perspective of the vast interior plains of Central Brazil. Look for the sunset colors reflecting off the meandering rivers during late afternoon departures.

Chapada dos Veadeiros
High altitude plateaus and ancient rock formations visible as the flight heads north through northern Goias.

Tocantins Riverfront
The urban sprawl of Imperatriz and the wide Tocantins River as the plane lines up for final approach.
The right side is ideal for catching the morning sun reflecting off the Tocantins River. It offers the most dramatic views during the final approach into IMP, as the aircraft often banks over the river and the Estreito dam. It's generally the cooler side during afternoon flights as it faces away from the setting sun.
