Serra do Espinhaço
Stunning views of the only quartz-rich mountain range in the world, stretching north from Belo Horizonte.
São Francisco River
Sections of the most famous river in Brazil's interior, showing its winding path through the semi-arid landscape.
Serra da Mesa Lake
One of the largest reservoirs in Brazil by volume, featuring intricate coastlines and deep blue water.
Tocantins River
The massive waterway that defines the border of Maranhão, offering a spectacular sight during the landing approach.
The right side is prime for early morning flights to see the sunrise over the mountains. Keep your camera ready about 15 minutes before landing for the best views of the Tocantins River and the Imperatriz riverfront. Avoid this side during sunset as the glare can be intense.

Três Marias Reservoir
