Lake Paranoá
The expansive blue waters surrounding Brasília's residential sectors.
São Francisco River
A glimpse of the 'River of National Integration' as it winds through the dry interior.
Pipa & Tibau do Sul
The stunning cliffs and turquoise waters of the southern coast as you approach Natal.
Morro do Careca
Natal's most famous landmark, a 120-meter high dune surrounded by vegetation at Ponta Negra.
Natal Skyline
The high-rise buildings along the coastal strip contrasting with the blue Atlantic.
The right side is generally superior for coastal views. To see the Morro do Careca, choose a seat behind the wing to ensure your view isn't blocked during the final banking turns. Morning flights are ideal for the right side as the sun will be behind the aircraft, perfectly illuminating the coastline and the city's white sand beaches.

Brasília Plano Piloto
Aerial view of the modernist 'airplane' layout of the capital city shortly after takeoff.
Chapada dos Veadeiros
The high altitude plateaus and ancient geological formations of the northern Cerrado.
Caatinga Biome
The unique, semi-arid landscape of the Brazilian Northeast with its distinct vegetation patterns.
Genipabu Dunes
Massive white sand dunes located just north of Natal visible during the descent.
Newton Navarro Bridge
The impressive cable-stayed bridge spanning the Potengi River estuary.
Sit on the left if you want to see the northern stretch of the coast. For afternoon flights, the sun will be on your side, so keep the window shade down during the middle of the flight to avoid the glare while crossing the Sertão. Watch for the dramatic transition from green highlands to the arid interior about 30 minutes after departure.
