CGB → BVH
Which side of the plane to sit from Marechal Rondon Airport (Cuiaba) to Brigadeiro Camarão Airport (Vilhena)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a more scenic perspective of the transition from the Cuiabá river basin into the rugged highlands of the Parecis plateau and the distant horizons of the northern Pantanal.

Cuiabá River Basin
Immediate views of Várzea Grande and the meandering Cuiabá River upon departure from CGB.
Pantanal Fringe
Distant glimpses of the northern wetlands to the south, especially visible during the high water season.
Serra do Tapirapuã
Rugged ridges and escarpments marking the ascent from the lowlands onto the central plateau.
Jauru River System
Intricate river networks carving through the landscape toward the Bolivian border.
Parecis Plateau
The high, flat tablelands of the Chapada dos Parecis as the plane nears the Rondônia state line.
To avoid harsh glare on this westward flight, opt for morning departures. Between August and October, be aware that regional agricultural burning can create a thick haze; early morning flights offer the best chance of clear visibility before smoke layers build up. Keep an eye out for the distinct change in soil color from the red clays of Mato Grosso to the lighter soils near Vilhena.

Agro-Mosaic
Vast geometric patterns of soybean and cotton fields demonstrating the scale of Mato Grosso's agriculture.
Chapada dos Guimarães
On very clear days, the distant red sandstone cliffs of the Chapada are visible to the northeast after takeoff.
BR-364 Corridor
The vital highway artery snaking through the landscape, serving as a landmark for much of the flight path.
Amazonian Transition
The visible shift from the Cerrado (savanna) biome into the denser tropical forest patches of southern Amazonia.
Vilhena Approach
Direct views of the urban expansion and the airport environment on the final descent into the plateau city.
The right side is excellent for observing the 'fishbone' pattern of land development along the highway corridors. Since the flight travels northwest, the right side will be in the shade during afternoon flights, which is better for photography to avoid window reflections. Use a high shutter speed to capture the detailed textures of the agricultural fields from cruising altitude.
