The stunning emerald green lagoon and the famous Gunga Beach sandbars just south of Maceio.

The massive 'Old Chico' river meeting the sea, creating a distinct sediment plume in the ocean.

The right side is the definitive choice for sightseeing. For the best lighting on the beaches and lagoons, fly during mid-morning. Watch specifically for the Rio São Francisco crossing, which is a major geographic landmark halfway through the flight. Ensure your window is clean, as the coastal humidity can sometimes cause light streaking.
