Which side of the plane to sit from Marechal Rondon Airport (Cuiaba) to Maestro Marinho Franco Airport (Rondonopolis)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides the most scenic vantage point, offering views of the iconic Chapada dos Guimarães plateau in the distance and a closer look at the rugged Serra de São Vicente mountain pass.
Cuiabá Skyline
Bird's-eye view of the capital city of Mato Grosso and the Arena Pantanal shortly after takeoff.
Chapada dos Guimarães
To the north/northeast, the distinctive red sandstone cliffs of the national park are visible on clear days.
Serra de São Vicente
Dramatic views of the steep mountain pass where the highway snakes through the rocky terrain below.
Agri-Industry Hubs
Massive grain storage silos and geometric soy plantations that define the region's economy.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the western sun. Look out early in the flight (first 10-15 minutes) for the best views of the Chapada. During the dry season (June-August), expect some haze, but the topographic relief remains clearly visible.
Rio Cuiabá
The winding path of the river as it flows south toward the Pantanal wetlands.
Cerrado Mosaic
A patchwork of native savanna vegetation interspersed with vast agricultural fields.
Pantanal Horizon
The flat, distant horizon to the west where the world's largest tropical wetland begins.
Rondonópolis Approach
Views of the industrial outskirts and urban core of Rondonópolis during the descent into ROO.
The right side is perfect for late afternoon flights to witness the sunset over the flat horizon. This side offers a better view of the agricultural expansion; look for the massive center-pivot irrigation circles which create green patterns on the landscape.
