Solimões Main Channel
Continuous views of the massive, silty-brown Solimões River carving through the deep green jungle.
Mamirauá Reserve
The northern horizon showcases the edge of this massive flooded forest reserve, famous for its biodiversity.
Riverine Villages
Small, isolated settlements and 'gaiola' riverboats appearing as tiny specs on the water's edge.
Pristine Canopy
Expansive views of the unbroken Amazonian rainforest stretching toward the northern borders of Brazil.
Sit on the left for the best views of the river's main channel. Opt for a morning flight (08:00–10:00) to capture the sun illuminating the jungle without the harsh glare of the midday tropical sun or the heavy afternoon storm clouds common in the Amazon.

Oxbow Lakes
Intricate 'U' shaped lakes formed by old river bends, creating a mosaic of water and land.
Juruá Confluence
Near the descent into Tefé, look for the area where the Juruá River system feeds into the Solimões basin.
Cloud Shadows
Dramatic visual patterns created by towering cumulus clouds casting shadows over the emerald forest floor.
Tefé Outskirts
Views of the expanding rural agriculture and smaller tributaries south of the main city center during landing.
The right side is excellent for spotting 'furos' and 'paranás' (narrow river channels). If flying during the late afternoon, this side may experience more sun glare, so bring polarized sunglasses to better see the contrast between the water and the dense vegetation.
