Lagoa Mundaú
Visible shortly after takeoff from MCZ, these lagoons offer a stunning contrast of green water and mangrove forests.
Praia do Gunga
One of Brazil's most famous beaches, recognizable by its vast coconut groves and the meeting of the lagoon with the sea.
Rio São Francisco Delta
A majestic sight where the 'River of National Integration' flows into the Atlantic Ocean.
Orla de Atalaia
On final approach to AJU, view the vibrant coastline of Aracaju including the famous Crab walkway.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid sun glare and see the turquoise reefs clearly. Watch for the delta of the São Francisco River about halfway through the short flight. This side is superior for photography of the coastline's natural beauty.

Sugarcane Plantations
The rolling hills of Alagoas covered in vast green fields of sugarcane typical of the Northeast.
Penedo Region
Views of the historic hinterlands near the banks of the São Francisco River.
Rio São Francisco Bends
Observe the deep blue river winding through the semi-arid landscape before it reaches the coast.
Aracaju Urban Sprawl
A wide perspective of the capital of Sergipe as the aircraft aligns with the runway.
The right side is better during late afternoon flights for softer lighting over the inland plateaus without the direct glare from the ocean. You will see the winding path of the São Francisco River slightly before the left side sees the river mouth.
