Our Recommendation
7.2

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side offers superior views of the winding Tocantins River throughout the cruise and provides a better perspective of the Imperatriz urban waterfront and the Dom Felipe Gregory Bridge during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🏗️

Marabá Industrial Hub

Clear views of the large-scale iron and steel processing facilities that mark the edge of the Carajás mining corridor.

🐍

Meandering Tocantins

The flight path often parallels the Tocantins River, revealing massive loops, sandbars, and dramatic river bends.

🌉

Dom Felipe Gregory Bridge

One of the longest bridges in the Brazilian North, connecting the states of Maranhão and Tocantins.

🏖️

Praia do Cacau

During the dry season (July-September), look for the stunning white sand river beaches emerging near Imperatriz.

The right side is the 'river side' for most of this short flight. For the best photography of the river's reflection, choose an afternoon flight when the sun is in the west. Keep your camera ready during the final 5 minutes of the flight for the best urban views of Imperatriz.

Left Side Highlights
6.5
🌊

Tocantins-Itacaiúnas Confluence

Witness the dramatic meeting of the silt-heavy Itacaiúnas and the dark Tocantins River right after takeoff.

🌳

Amazon Patchwork

Observe the transition between remaining dense rainforest canopy and the vast cattle ranching pastures of Pará.

🏘️

Maranhão Interior

Glimpses of isolated rural settlements and small agricultural plots as you cross the state border.

Sit on the left side during morning flights (typically the early hop) to avoid the intense tropical glare from the southern sun. This side is better for spotting the vastness of the northern Amazon basin as it stretches toward the horizon.
