Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides the most iconic views of the Araripe Plateau and the religious landmarks of Juazeiro do Norte during the final descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Serra da Aratanha

Lush green mountain ranges located just south of Fortaleza that provide a sharp elevation contrast early in the flight.

🌊

Orós Reservoir

A major water body that often glistens in the sunlight, surrounded by rugged rock formations.

🏔️

Chapada do Araripe

The imposing sedimentary plateau that dominates the horizon as the flight enters the Cariri region.

🙏

Colina do Horto

The iconic 27-meter tall statue of Padre Cícero, visible on its hilltop pedestal during the landing approach.

🌳

Cariri Oasis

The fertile valley of Juazeiro, which appears significantly greener than the surrounding plains due to natural springs.

The right side is the 'money side' for this route. Aim for an afternoon flight to see the Chapada do Araripe illuminated by the setting sun. Keep your camera ready during the final 10 minutes of the flight to capture the Padre Cícero monument.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Fortaleza Coastline

Aerial views of the urban beaches and the Atlantic horizon immediately following takeoff from Pinto Martins.

💧

Castanhão Reservoir

The largest multi-use dam in Brazil, appearing as a massive blue expanse contrasting against the dry Sertão landscape.

🌵

Sertão Caatinga

The unique semi-arid vegetation of the Ceará interior, showing silver hues in the dry season and vibrant green after rain.

🐆

Jaguaribe River Basin

The winding path of the 'river of the jaguars' carving through the dry backlands of the state.

Choose the left side for morning departures to keep the sun behind you. This side offers a better perspective of the vastness of the Ceará backlands and the massive infrastructure of the state's water management systems.
