Guajará Bay

For afternoon flights, the left side is ideal for catching a spectacular sunset over the Amazon rainforest. During departure from GRU, sitting on the left usually provides a better view of the downtown SP skyline depending on the runway in use. On the approach to Belém, the left side typically offers the best view of the riverfront as the plane turns for alignment.

Minas Gerais Highlands
Extensive views of the rolling hills and iron-rich plateaus of the Brazilian interior.
Tocantins River
The massive Tocantins river and its large hydroelectric reservoirs are often visible during mid-flight.
Belém Port Area
Detailed views of the city's historic docks and the Ver-o-Peso market area if the path circles East.
Marajó Island
The world's largest fluvial-maritime island can be seen on the horizon to the North during descent.
The right side is best for morning flights to avoid the direct sunlight, which can be intense at high altitudes. It provides excellent views of the Tocantins river system during the middle of the flight. If the aircraft approaches BEL from the east, the right side will have a closer view of the city's dense urban towers and the Mosqueiro island area.
