Search flights from FOR to BEL
Ceará Coastline
Crystal clear turquoise waters and famous beaches like Cumbuco and Jericoacoara visible during the initial cruise phase.
Parnaíba Delta
A massive natural delta system with an intricate web of islands, mangroves, and river branches.
Lençóis Maranhenses
The absolute highlight: miles of rolling white sand dunes interspersed with seasonal blue and green lagoons.
Marajó Island
The world's largest fluvial island appearing as you cross the mouth of the Amazon River.
Guajará Bay
Busy river traffic and the iconic meeting of waters as the plane descends into Belem.
For the best experience, book a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the white dunes of Lençóis Maranhenses. Aim for a seat in front of the wing for unobstructed photos. The lagoons in the dunes are most vibrant between June and August after the rainy season.
Book Hotels in Belem
Baturité Massif
Lush mountainous terrain contrasting with the surrounding semi-arid landscape shortly after takeoff from Fortaleza.
Sertão Views
Expansive views of the Caatinga biome, showing the unique dry forest patterns of the Brazilian interior.
São Luís Outskirts
Aerial perspective of the sprawling urban transition and interior wetlands of Maranhão state.
Amazon Rainforest Canopy
As the flight nears Belem, the horizon turns into a deep, endless green carpet of primary rainforest.
Choose the left side for sunset flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun while still enjoying the changing colors over the vast interior forests. This side is also better for observing the 'Sertão' geography and the transition into the Amazon basin's dense vegetation.
