Stunning views of the massive red sandstone mesas and cliffs that border the city of Palmas to the east.
Lajeado Reservoir
The enormous expanse of the Tocantins River, widened by the Luiz Eduardo Magalhães hydroelectric dam.
Highland Plateaus
Distant views of the elevated terrain defining the transition between the states of Goiás and Tocantins.
Palmas Urban Grid
A clear view of the planned layout of Brazil's newest state capital, known for its wide avenues and organized blocks.
The right side is essential for the approach into Palmas. Aim for an afternoon flight to see the sun illuminate the red rock faces of the Serra do Lajeado. For the best view of the dam and the reservoir, keep your eyes out about 15 minutes before landing.

Goiânia Cityscape
Panoramic views of the capital of Goiás, highlighting its circular urban design and high-density sectors.
Cerrado Mosaic
A sprawling view of the Brazilian savanna mixed with large-scale agricultural patchwork typical of central Brazil.
Western Horizon
