Which side of the plane to sit from João Correa da Rocha Airport (Maraba) to Prefeito Renato Moreira Airport (Imperatriz)?
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.
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.
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.
