Chapada dos Guimarães
Stunning red sandstone cliffs and high plateaus located just east of the departure path.
Manso Reservoir
A massive man-made lake with a jagged coastline that glitters under the tropical sun.
Cerrado Transition
Observe the ecological shift as the scrubby Cerrado vegetation begins to thicken into gallery forests.
Teles Pires Basin
Winding river tributaries and riparian forests that characterize the landscape as you approach Sinop.
Sit on the right side for morning flights to get the best light on the Chapada cliffs. Keep your camera ready within the first 10 minutes of flight for the best geological views. During the rainy season (Oct-Mar), watch for massive isolated thunderstorms that create towering white pillars in the distance.

Cuiabá Urban Center
Aerial view of the Mato Grosso capital and the Arena Pantanal shortly after departure from CGB.
Agribusiness Heartland
Vast, geometrically perfect soy and corn plantations stretching to the horizon near Nova Mutum.
BR-163 Corridor
View the 'Soy Highway', the critical logistical artery connecting the Brazilian interior to the northern ports.
Western Horizon
Dramatic sunset views over the flat plains if flying during the late afternoon hours.
Choose this side for afternoon flights to enjoy the sunset without direct glare until the final descent. It is particularly interesting for those fascinated by large-scale industrial agriculture and the sheer scale of Brazilian farm estates.
