Which side of the plane to sit from Marechal Rondon Airport (Cuiaba) to Santa Genoveva Airport (Goiania)?
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.
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.
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.
