Which side of the plane to sit from Gurupi Airport (Gurupi) to Minaçu Airport (Minacu)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is superior for this route as it offers sweeping views of the massive Serra da Mesa Reservoir and the dramatic rugged terrain of Northern Goiás during the approach to Minaçu.
Serra da Mesa Reservoir
The enormous blue expanse of one of Brazil's largest artificial lakes, created by the Tocantins River.
Cana Brava Dam
The massive hydroelectric structure and its spillway located just north of Minaçu.
Goiás Highlands
Rugged, rocky outcrops and deep valleys that characterize the descent into the Minaçu region.
Sun Reflections
Beautiful golden light reflections on the reservoir's surface during late afternoon flights.
The right side is essential for viewing the reservoir. For the most dramatic views of the Cana Brava dam and the lake's inlets, choose a seat behind the wing. Afternoon flights offer stunning lighting for photography over the water.
Gurupi City View
Aerial perspective of Gurupi's urban center immediately after takeoff from GRP.
BR-153 Corridor
The famous Belém-Brasília highway visible as a straight line cutting through the landscape.
Serra Geral Outlines
Distant views of the plateau formations that mark the transition between Tocantins and Goiás states.
Cerrado Gallery Forests
Lush green corridors of vegetation following the small river paths through the savanna.
Sit on the left if you want a clear view of Gurupi city upon departure. Morning flights are best for this side to avoid the harsh glare of the afternoon sun reflecting off the aircraft windows.
