Which side of the plane to sit from Tancredo Neves International Airport (Belo Horizonte) to Porto Seguro Airport (Porto Seguro)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer views of the rugged Minas Gerais interior, the Right Side is superior for its spectacular approach over the Bahia coastline, featuring the iconic cliffs of Trancoso and the reefs of Arraial d'Ajuda.
Abrolhos Coastline
As the flight nears the ocean, catch glimpses of the deep blue Atlantic and the distant reefs of southern Bahia.
Monte Pascoal
Spot the iconic cone-shaped peak, the first land sighted by the Portuguese explorers in the year 1500.
Trancoso Cliffs
Marvel at the vibrant red and white cliffs contrasted against the turquoise sea as the plane descends.
Arraial d'Ajuda Reefs
Get a bird's-eye view of the stunning natural pools and coral formations just south of Porto Seguro.
Oceanic Approach
Experience the thrill of a low-altitude turn over the coastline before touching down at BPS.
The right side (Seats F) is essential for the 'Discovery Coast' experience. Book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the vibrant colors of the ocean and reefs. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing for the best coastal shots.
Serra do Espinhaço
View the dramatic, rocky ridges of the only mountain range in Brazil classified as a Biosphere Reserve.
Northern Minas Plateau
Observe the transition from the lush Atlantic Forest remnants to the drier, vast Cerrado landscapes.
Porto Seguro Historic Center
On final approach, look down to see the colonial architecture of the 'Cidade Alta' overlooking the harbor.
Sit on the left if you are flying in the late afternoon to enjoy the sunset over the mountains of Minas Gerais. During the final descent, this side provides a better view of the city center and the mouth of the Buranhém River.
