IMP → BEL
Which side of the plane to sit from Prefeito Renato Moreira Airport (Imperatriz) to Val de Cans/Júlio Cezar Ribeiro International Airport (Belem)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the major river systems, including the Tocantins River at departure and the vast Guajará Bay during the approach to Belém.
Tocantins River
Immediately after takeoff from IMP, view the massive river that serves as the lifeblood of the region.
Amazon Basin Canopy
Dense stretches of primary and transition forest as the flight progresses into the heart of Pará.
Riverside Communities
Spot the winding Moju and Acará riverbanks dotted with isolated Amazonian settlements.
Guajará Bay
A spectacular view of the massive estuary and the gateway to the Amazon River during descent.
Historical Belém
Get a clear look at the Ver-o-Peso market and the colonial architecture of the city center before landing.
For the best experience, book a seat on the left for morning flights to avoid the harsh tropical sun. This side provides the most dramatic views of the water-city interface. On final approach, look for the 'Estação das Docas' along the waterfront, which is clearly visible from this side.
Maranhão Hinterlands
The patchwork of agricultural fields and Cerrado landscapes near the border of Maranhão and Pará.
Tailândia & Acará
Views of regional trade hubs and growing urban centers emerging from the surrounding green.
Rodovia PA-150
Follow the winding red-dirt logistics corridors that connect the south of the state to the capital.
Belém Skyline
An expansive view of the city's modern skyscrapers and industrial port zones during the landing pattern.
Val de Cans Perimeter
Detailed views of the densely populated suburban neighborhoods that ring the airport.
The right side is recommended for afternoon flights (PM) to have the sun at your back, which highlights the vibrant colors of the forest and the city sprawl. While it lacks the bay views, it offers a better sense of the sheer urban density and growth of Belém compared to the surrounding rainforest.
