Which side of the plane to sit from João Correa da Rocha Airport (Maraba) to Araguaína Airport (Araguaina)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is preferred for its superior views of the Araguaia River, the distinct river confluence at Marabá, and better orientation for sunset views on late afternoon flights.
Search flights from MAB to AUX
Marabá Confluence
Spectacular view of the 'Y' shape where the Itacaiúnas River meets the Tocantins, defining the layout of Marabá.
Araguaia River
Follow the winding path of the Araguaia River, which serves as the natural border between the states of Pará and Tocantins.
Agricultural Frontier
Witness the transition from rainforest patches to the massive cattle ranches and soy fields of the Amazonian 'arc of deforestation'.
Amazonian Sunset
Deep orange and purple hues over the distant horizon on the short hop south during late afternoon departures.
The right side is ideal for photographers looking to capture the Araguaia River. Since the flight is very short (approx. 40-50 minutes), stay alert immediately after takeoff from MAB for the best river confluence shots. Keep your camera shutter speed high to capture the patterns of the agricultural landscape below.

Tocantins River
Aerial view of the massive Tocantins River as you depart Marabá, showcasing its wide channel and islands.
Araguaína Approach
A clear view of the urban sprawl and rapid development of Araguaína as the aircraft descends into Tocantins state.
Eastern Sunrise
On early morning flights, enjoy the sun rising over the vast, flat plateau of the Brazilian Cerrado transition.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct glare while still seeing the Tocantins River. It offers a better perspective of the city of Araguaína during the final approach phase if the wind is coming from the south.
