Which side of the plane to sit from Marechal Rondon Airport (Cuiaba) to Tancredo Neves International Airport (Belo Horizonte)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior perspective of the rugged Serra do Cipó mountains and the distinctive limestone karst landscapes surrounding the Lagoa Santa region during the descent into Belo Horizonte.
Cuiabá Skyline
Views of the Mato Grosso state capital and the Arena Pantanal immediately after takeoff.
Rio Araguaia Headwaters
Remote and pristine river systems flowing through the southern reaches of the Cerrado biome.
Serra do Cipó
Dramatic rocky ridges and canyons of the Espinhaço Range visible during the descent phase.
Karst Formations
Unique limestone topography featuring white cliffs and numerous small lagoons near Lagoa Santa.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to capture the golden hour over the mountains. During the descent into CNF, watch for the 'Veu da Noiva' waterfall area in the distance within the Serra do Cipó National Park.
Cerrado Mosaic
Vast agricultural patterns and native savanna vegetation of the Brazilian central plateau.
Rio Paranaíba
The meandering river that forms the natural border between the states of Goiás and Minas Gerais.
Três Marias Reservoir
A massive, deep blue artificial lake on the São Francisco River, visible mid-flight.
Serra do Cabral
Ancient, flat-topped sandstone plateaus rising from the landscape of northern Minas Gerais.
Sit on this side for morning flights to avoid the harsh tropical glare. Keep an eye out for the Três Marias Dam approximately 45 minutes after departure for the best water views.
