Ceará Coastline
Stunning views of the Atlantic beaches and the turquoise waters near Pecém during the initial climb.
Port of Pecém
One of Brazil's major industrial ports visible on the coastline shortly after departure.
Parnaíba River Delta
On clear days, the distant contours of the massive river delta can be spotted to the northwest.
Poti River Curves
Intricate meanders of the Poti River as the flight begins its descent into Teresina.
Encontro das Águas
The famous confluence where the Poti meets the Parnaíba River right in the heart of Teresina.
Sit on the right side for the best chance to see the sunset if flying in the late afternoon. During the final approach into THE, this side typically provides the best view of the 'Mesopotamia of the Northeast' where the two major rivers meet.
