Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side of the aircraft offers a spectacular view of the Chapada dos Guimarães cliffs shortly after takeoff from Cuiabá, providing one of the most scenic geographic views in Central Brazil.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Chapada dos Guimarães

Stunning sandstone cliffs and massive plateaus visible within 10-15 minutes of departure.

🏙️

Cuiabá Cityscape

A panoramic view of the 'Green City' and the winding Cuiabá River during the initial climb.

🌾

Agricultural Mosaic

Vast soy and corn plantations of Mato Grosso that create a geometric patchwork across the landscape.

🏞️

Rio das Mortes

A glimpse of the winding river system that marks the transition deeper into the Cerrado biome.

Book a window seat on the left (A/B) for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight while capturing the best lighting on the Chapada cliffs. During the dry season (May-September), visibility is usually high, but watch for occasional haze from agricultural fires.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
✈️

Várzea Grande

A detailed view of the urban landscape surrounding the airport and the industrial outskirts of the metro area.

🐂

Cattle Ranching Frontiers

Aerial views of the extensive grazing lands typical of the Goiás and Mato Grosso border regions.

💧

Araguaia Tributaries

Smaller river basins and wetlands that feed into the massive Araguaia river system further south.

🌆

Goiânia Skyline

A view of the densely packed high-rises and the planned circular layout of the Goiás capital during descent.

The right side (K/L) is preferred for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the vast Brazilian plateau. During the wet season (October-April), this side often provides dramatic views of towering cumulus clouds and localized thunderstorms common in the region.
