Serra do Espinhaço
Breathtaking views of South America's only primary mountain range, featuring rugged quartz formations and deep valleys.
Rio das Velhas
Follow the winding path of this major tributary which carves through the landscape east of the flight path.
Diamantina Plateau
In the distance, the high-altitude plateaus near the historic city of Diamantina are often visible in clear weather.
Lake Paranoá
The massive man-made lake surrounding the capital, showcasing blue waters and upscale lakeside residential areas.
Plano Piloto
The world-famous 'airplane' layout of Brasília, including the Esplanade of Ministries and the Cathedral, visible during descent.
The right side is essential for photographers; ensure you are seated behind the wing for an unobstructed view of Lake Paranoá. Morning flights provide the best lighting for the Serra do Espinhaço mountains. Be alert 15 minutes before landing for the best city views.

Agricultural Hubs
Observation of large-scale crop circles and irrigation systems typical of the modern agricultural landscape in Minas Gerais.
Southern Brasília
