Encontro das Águas
The spectacular confluence of the black Rio Negro and sandy Solimões River near Manaus.
Amazon Basin
Dense, lush green canopy extending to the horizon for the first hour of flight.
Araguaia River
Views of the vast river system defining the border between Tocantins and Mato Grosso.
Central Plateau
The sprawling urban lights of Goiânia or Brasília depending on the specific air corridor.
Serra da Mantiqueira
Rugged mountain ridges as you descend into the state of São Paulo.
Book a window seat on the left for morning flights to see the sunrise over the rainforest. Upon departure from MAO, keep your camera ready immediately; the Meeting of the Waters appears within the first 10 minutes. This side is also better for spotting the transition from dense jungle to the Cerrado savanna biome as you head south.
