Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a front-row seat to the expansive Pantanal wetlands, featuring intricate river meanders and the unique biodiversity of the floodplains.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Aquidauana River Meanders

Shortly after takeoff, view the complex, snake-like loops of the river as it enters the wetlands.

🐊

Nhecolândia Wetlands

Fly over the heart of the Pantanal, characterized by thousands of small, circular lagoons called salinas.

🌿

Vazantes and Cordilheiras

Observe the seasonal drainage channels and elevated strips of forest that host most of the area's wildlife.

🏞️

Serra das Araras

On the descent into Cuiaba, look for the distant limestone ridges that mark the edge of the plateau.

🌅

Pantanal Sunset

Late afternoon flights provide a stunning reflection of the sun across the flooded plains.

Book an 'A' or 'B' seat for the best views. Morning flights are ideal as the sun is behind you, perfectly illuminating the water reflections. During the flood season (January to March), the landscape transforms into a massive inland sea. Look for the distinct color changes in the water, which can range from crystal clear to dark tea-colored due to organic matter.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🚜

Agricultural Heartland

Vast, geometric soybean and corn plantations showcasing the scale of Brazilian agribusiness.

🌳

Cerrado Transitions

Watch the landscape shift from low-lying wetlands to the higher, scrubby forests of the Cerrado biome.

🛶

São Lourenço River Crossing

A major tributary crossing that often shows intense sediment transport into the Pantanal basin.

🏙️

Cuiaba Urban Approach

Excellent views of the capital city and the winding Cuiaba River just before touchdown.

The right side is best for sunrise flights, catching the first light over the plateaus. During the dry season (June to September), the contrast between the green gallery forests along the rivers and the golden-brown pastures is most striking. Keep your camera ready during the final 10 minutes for the Cuiaba city skyline.
