Search flights from FOR to JDO
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.

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.
