Which side of the plane to sit from Carajás Airport (Parauapebas) to João Correa da Rocha Airport (Maraba)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a front-row seat to the massive scale of the Serra dos Carajás mining operations and the dramatic river confluence at the destination.
Search flights from CKS to MAB
Open-Pit Mines
Spectacular views of the world's largest iron ore mines, showing the deep red iron-rich soil of the Carajás complex.
Parauapebas Urban Edge
The rapid urban expansion of Parauapebas contrasting sharply with the surrounding protected forest.
Tocantins Confluence
The meeting point of the Itacaiúnas and the massive Tocantins River just before landing in Marabá.
Carajás Railroad
Occasional sightings of the world's longest trains transporting ore from the mines to the Atlantic coast.
The right side is superior for industrial and geographic interest. Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff from CKS to catch the mining pits. During descent into MAB, watch for the shift from forest to the wide, blue-water expanse of the Tocantins River.

Carajás National Forest
Uninterrupted views of dense, primary Amazon rainforest stretching toward the horizon.
Itacaiúnas River Curves
The winding path of the river as it cuts through the forest, creating intricate oxbow shapes.
Tropical Cloud Formations
Towering cumulus clouds typical of the region, creating dramatic light and shadow play over the green canopy.
Sit on the left for a serene view of the 'Green Sea'. Morning flights are best to avoid the heavy haze that often builds up by late afternoon in the humid Amazon basin.
