MIA → BEL
Which side of the plane to sit from Miami International Airport (Miami) to Val de Cans/Júlio Cezar Ribeiro International Airport (Belem)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the departure over the Florida Keys, the rugged mountainous terrain of Hispaniola, and the breathtaking approach into the Amazon basin and Belem's riverfront.
Florida Keys
Spectacular views of the overseas highway and the coral reefs stretching south from Miami.
Hispaniola Peaks
Aerial perspective of the dramatic mountain ranges in Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
Amazon Rainforest
Vast, unbroken canopy of the world's largest tropical rainforest stretching to the horizon.
Amazon Delta
The intricate network of coffee-colored rivers and lush green islands nearing the mouth of the Amazon.
Belem Riverfront
Excellent views of the Guamá River and the dense urban skyline of Belem during the landing pattern.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the glare of the sun. It provides the best perspective of the South American coastline and the transition from the Caribbean Sea to the dense Amazonian jungle. Keep your camera ready during the last 30 minutes of flight for the spectacular river systems.
The Bahamas Chain
Stunning aerial views of the turquoise waters and white sand cays of the Exumas and Long Island.
Puerto Rico Trench
Visual transition over the deepest part of the Atlantic Ocean with deep indigo water hues.
Intertropical Convergence Zone
Witness massive, towering cumulonimbus cloud formations common near the equator.
Atlantic Coastline
Views of the rugged northern coastline of South America as you approach the Brazilian border.
Choose the left side for morning departures to witness the sunrise over the Atlantic. During the final descent into Belem, you may catch glimpses of the Atlantic Ocean meeting the silt-filled waters of the Amazon. Avoid this side during mid-day flights if you prefer to avoid direct, harsh sunlight.
