Which side of the plane to sit from Brigadeiro Camarão Airport (Vilhena) to Marechal Rondon Airport (Cuiaba)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior perspective of the ecological transition from the Amazon basin to the Cerrado, concluding with an excellent view of the Chapada dos Guimarães plateaus during the descent.
Amazon-Cerrado Ecotone
Witness the visual shift from the dense tropical canopy of southern Rondônia into the sparser savanna of Mato Grosso.
Tapajós Basin Rivers
Overlook the intricate network of the Juruena river system headwaters winding through the high plateaus.
Chapada dos Guimarães
Spot the iconic red sandstone plateaus and massive cliffs that define the landscape just north of Cuiabá during descent.
Northern Cuiabá Urban View
Get a clear view of the expanding urban landscape and the Arena Pantanal as the plane prepares to land.
Choose a window seat on the left to avoid the harsh afternoon sun glare. The descent phase is the most scenic part of the flight as the plateaus of Chapada become visible. Early morning flights are recommended for the best clarity before tropical heat haze sets in.
Agro-Industrial Mosaic
Observe the massive scale of Mato Grosso agriculture with perfectly geometric soy and cotton plantations stretching to the horizon.
Serra das Araras
Catch distant silhouettes of the rugged mountain range that marks the transition between the plateau and the Pantanal lowlands.
Cuiabá River Meanders
Follow the path of the river that serves as the primary waterway feeding the northern Pantanal wetlands.
The right side is excellent for observing the vast scale of Brazilian agribusiness. Note that visibility can be significantly reduced by seasonal agricultural fires (queimadas) between August and October, which often creates a thick layer of smoke.
