Beberibe Cliffs
Famous 'Falésias' with vibrant red and orange sands contrasting against the blue sea.
Jaguaribe River
The mouth of Ceará's largest river near Aracati, showing intricate sandbars and mangroves.
Coastal Wind Farms
Modern clusters of white wind turbines lining the coast of Rio Grande do Norte.
Caatinga Landscapes
The unique semi-arid vegetation of the Brazilian Northeast visible as you look slightly inland.
Genipabu Dunes
Massive white sand dunes near Natal, often visible during the final descent phase.
The right side is significantly more scenic for this short hop. Book a window seat away from the wing for unobstructed views of the cliffs. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting for the red-hued dunes of Beberibe and Canoa Quebrada.
