Great Bahama Bank
Stunning contrasts of deep blue and shallow turquoise water over the underwater limestone plateau.
Hispaniola Peaks
Aerial views of the Cordillera Central in the Dominican Republic, featuring the highest peaks in the Caribbean.
Amazon Rainforest
An endless canopy of deep green broken only by the shimmering, winding silver ribbons of river tributaries.
Equatorial Sunrise
Dramatic sunrise views over the Atlantic horizon as the flight crosses into the Southern Hemisphere.
Serra do Espinhaço
The 'backbone' of Brazil, showcasing ancient rocky ridges and quartz outcrops on the final approach to CNF.
Book a window seat on the left for the best lighting during the morning arrival. If the flight departs MIA in the evening, the early portion provides excellent views of the Bahamian island chains before sunset. Keep your window shade down during the middle of the night to avoid waking others, but open it as the sky begins to lighten over northern Brazil for an unforgettable sunrise.

Florida Everglades
Immediate views of the vast river of grass and wetland ecosystems shortly after departing Miami.
Eastern Cuba
Vistas of the rugged Sierra Maestra mountains and the coastline of the Guantanamo province.
Orinoco River Basin
The massive hydrological systems and seasonal floodplains of the Venezuelan Llanos.
Iron Quadrangle
The distinct red-tinted earth and massive open-pit mines of the Quadrilátero Ferrífero near Belo Horizonte.
The right side is ideal for catching the sunset over the Gulf of Mexico or the Caribbean Sea shortly after takeoff. On the descent into Belo Horizonte, look for the unique landscape of the mining districts, which appear as deep terracotta scars against the green hills. This side generally has less direct sun glare during the morning arrival into Brazil.
