MEU → BEL
Which side of the plane to sit from Monte Dourado Airport (Almeirim) to Val de Cans/Júlio Cezar Ribeiro International Airport (Belem)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of the main Amazon River artery, the expansive interior of Marajó Island, and the iconic city skyline of Belém during the final approach.

Jari River Winding
The dramatic curves of the Jari River visible immediately after takeoff from Monte Dourado.
Amazon River Mainstream
The massive scale of the main Amazon channel, often appearing like a sea rather than a river.
Marajó Wetlands
The vast interior floodplains of Marajó Island, famous for its wild water buffalo populations.
Belém Skyline
The impressive high-rises of Belém emerging from the jungle and river landscape during descent.
Guajará Bay
Active shipping lanes and traditional Amazonian riverboats clustered near the Ver-o-Peso market area.
Sit on the right for the descent into Belém (BEL). Most approaches come from the north, meaning the right side gets the primary view of the city center and the Estação das Docas. Late afternoon flights provide spectacular golden hour reflections off the massive water surfaces of the delta.

Pristine Rainforest
Dense, unbroken canopy of the northern Amazon basin extending toward the Amapá border.
Northern Delta Channels
The intricate network of smaller rivers and tributaries flowing into the Atlantic.
Marajó Northern Shore
Remote river beaches and mangrove forests along the northern edge of the world's largest fluvial island.
Look for the sharp contrast between the dark 'blackwater' tributaries and the silty 'whitewater' of the main river system. Morning flights on this side avoid the direct equatorial sun glare, making it easier to spot wildlife movement in the clearings.
