Which side of the plane to sit from Cacoal Airport (Cacoal) to Marechal Rondon Airport (Cuiaba)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides showcase the dramatic transition from the Amazon basin to the agricultural heartland, the right side is generally superior for the approach into Cuiabá, offering views of the meandering Cuiabá River and the city's urban landscape.
Amazon Transition Zone
Observe the thinning of the dense Amazon canopy as it gives way to the Cerrado tropical savanna.
Pantanal Periphery
Distant views of the northern edge of the world's largest tropical wetland area to the southwest.
Rio Cuiabá
The serpentine curves of the river become prominent as the aircraft descends into the metropolitan area.
Cuiabá & Várzea Grande
A full panoramic view of the skyline and the Arena Pantanal stadium during the final approach phase.
Choose a window seat behind the wing for unobstructed views of the river during descent. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting for photography on this side, as the sun will be behind the aircraft.
Cacoal Urban Area
Aerial view of the 'Capital of Coffee' in Rondônia immediately after takeoff.
BR-364 Logistics Vein
Trace the path of the vital highway that connects the Amazon to the south of Brazil.
Agricultural Mosaics
Stunning geometric patterns of massive soy and corn plantations in western Mato Grosso.
Chapada dos Guimarães
On clear days, the distant flat-topped red cliffs of the national park are visible to the northeast during descent.
Sit on the left if you are interested in seeing the specific 'checkerboard' patterns of large-scale industrial farming. This side avoids direct glare during early morning flights as the sun rises in the east.
