Which side of the plane to sit from Marechal Rondon Airport (Cuiaba) to Governador Jorge Teixeira de Oliveira Airport (Porto Velho)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for witnessing the dramatic transition from the Cerrado's agricultural grid into the Amazon's dense canopy, culminating in an excellent view of the Madeira River's vast curves upon approach.

Cuiabá Metro Area
Panoramic views of the Cuiabá and Várzea Grande urban centers and the initial winding of the Cuiabá River after takeoff.
Agro-Industrial Mosaic
Massive, geometrically perfect fields of soy and cotton that define the Mato Grosso landscape for the first third of the flight.
BR-364 Corridor
Observation of the primary logistical artery of western Brazil as it cuts through the landscape toward the Amazon.
Fishbone Deforestation
Dramatic aerial views of the 'fishbone' patterns of land clearing branching off from the main roads in the Rondônia border region.
Madeira River Bend
Spectacular views of one of the world's largest rivers, characterized by its sediment-rich, coffee-colored water and massive meanders.
Opt for a morning flight to keep the sun on the opposite side of the aircraft, ensuring better visibility and fewer window reflections. The most impressive landscape changes occur roughly 40-50 minutes into the flight as you enter the state of Rondônia. Look for the massive river systems just before the landing announcement.

Chapada Escarpments
Distant views of the red sandstone cliffs of Chapada dos Guimarães National Park visible to the northeast during the ascent.
Parecis Plateau
The high, flat plains of the Chapada dos Parecis, which mark the geographic divide between the Amazon and Prata basins.
Santo Antônio Hydroelectric
A clear view of the massive dam and spillways on the Madeira River during the final descent into Porto Velho.
Tropical Cloudscapes
Incredible afternoon views of towering cumulus clouds, often reaching the edge of the stratosphere over the forest.
Porto Velho Perimeter
Views of the industrial and residential outskirts of the capital city and the Amazonian port infrastructure.
If flying in the late afternoon, the right side is preferred to avoid the direct glare of the setting western sun. Keep an eye out for the vast hydroelectric reservoirs; their scale is best appreciated from this side during the final approach patterns into PVH.
