CNF → GYN
Which side of the plane to sit from Tancredo Neves International Airport (Belo Horizonte) to Santa Genoveva Airport (Goiania)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers spectacular views of the Serra do Cipó mountains immediately after takeoff, followed by the massive Três Marias reservoir and the transition into the vast Cerrado agricultural plains.
Serra do Cipó National Park
Dramatic rocky escarpments and waterfalls visible shortly after takeoff from CNF, showcasing the unique 'Campos Rupestres' ecosystem.
Lagoa Santa Karst Region
A unique geological landscape featuring numerous limestone caves and circular lagoons formed by sinkholes.
Três Marias Reservoir
The enormous blue expanse of the São Francisco River dam, one of the most significant water bodies in the Brazilian interior.
Agribusiness Heartland
Aerial patterns of center-pivot irrigation systems around Paracatu, creating perfect green circles in the Cerrado soil.
Cerrado Biome Pockets
Dense areas of twisted trees and native vegetation that define the landscape of Central Brazil.
The right side is superior for geological diversity. Morning flights provide the best lighting for the Serra do Cipó. Keep your camera ready within the first 10 minutes of flight for the best mountain views and mid-flight for the Três Marias dam.
Belo Horizonte Periphery
Aerial views of the northern metropolitan region and industrial clusters of Contagem and Betim shortly after departure.
Serra do Curral Distant Peaks
The jagged silhouette of the mountain range that borders the state capital is visible on the southern horizon.
Highland Plateaus
Expansive views of the 'Planalto Central' characterized by red soil and massive rectangular crop fields.
Paranaíba River Tributaries
Glimpses of winding river systems that eventually feed into the Paraná River basin further south.
Goiânia Skyline
During the final descent, the dense cluster of high-rises in the Marista and Bueno sectors comes into view.
Sit on the left for better views of the sunset when flying in the late afternoon. During the descent into GYN, this side often provides a clearer perspective of the urban density and the 'green' canopy the city is known for.
