Brasília's Airplane Shape
The most iconic view of the federal capital's urban design, specifically the Eixo Monumental and the Northern Wing.
Chapada dos Veadeiros View
On clear days, the distant northern horizon reveals the elevated plateaus and rock formations of the Chapada.
Amazon Transition Forest
As you approach Sinop, watch the landscape change from savanna to the dense, dark green canopy of the Amazon's southern edge.
Sinop Urban Grid
View the rapid expansion of Sinop, known as the 'Capital of the North' of Mato Grosso, with its distinctive planned grid.
The right side is essential for the Brasília city view if the plane departs towards the West/Northwest. Sit further back from the wing to ensure your view of the 'Plano Piloto' isn't obstructed. For morning flights, be aware that the sun will be on this side, so bring sunglasses for the best viewing experience.

Águas Claras and Taguatinga
View the high-rise urban clusters of the Federal District's satellite cities shortly after departure from BSB.
Mato Grosso Farmland
Witness the immense scale of Brazil's soybean and corn heartland with perfectly geometric agricultural patterns.
Rio Araguaia Basin
Look down at the winding tributaries and wetlands that feed into one of Brazil's most vital river systems.
Southern Horizon
On afternoon flights, this side enjoys the soft light of the sun setting towards the south-west without direct glare.
Choose the left side for afternoon flights (around 4:00 PM) to enjoy the golden hour light over the agricultural landscape without the sun shining directly into your window. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes after takeoff for the best views of the Araguaia river system.
