Our Recommendation

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides an expansive view of the Tocantins River's serpentine path and the massive Tucuruí Reservoir, showcasing the intersection of nature and infrastructure.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Tocantins River

The main artery of the region, visible with its wide, winding curves shortly after takeoff.

🔋

Tucuruí Reservoir

One of the world's largest hydroelectric reservoirs, featuring a labyrinth of flooded islands.

🌳

Amazon Canopy

Uninterrupted views of the dense, deep green rainforest stretching toward the horizon.

🚤

Guajará Bay

The widening waters signaling the approach to the mouth of the Amazon River system.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct glare. The highlight is the Tucuruí Reservoir; look for the hundreds of tiny islands created by the rising waters. During the rainy season from January to May, the rivers are exceptionally wide and impressive.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏙️

Marabá Urban Center

A clear view of the city layout nestled between the Tocantins and Itacaiúnas rivers.

🛤️

Carajás Railway

A vital industrial logistics route visible as a sharp, straight line cutting through the jungle.

💧

Guamá River

A meandering river that borders the southern edge of Belém, visible during the final descent.

🏗️

Belém Port Zone

Busy maritime activity and the historic Ver-o-Peso market area are visible as the plane banks for landing.

The right side is best for seeing the urban sprawl of Belém and the Guamá River on final descent. If flying at sunset, this side captures the warm light reflecting off the forest canopy. Look for the Carajás railway tracks which offer a stark contrast to the surrounding wilderness.
