Belo Horizonte Skyline
Immediate views of the dense urban landscape and the surrounding 'Curral' mountains right after takeoff from PLU.
Serra da Mantiqueira
Spectacular aerial perspective of the peaks along the southern border of Minas Gerais, often shrouded in morning mist.
Lagoa de Araruama
The massive, bright blue hypersaline lagoon, one of the largest in the world, visible during the descent.
Arraial do Cabo
Stunning views of the white sand dunes and the 'Brazilian Caribbean' turquoise waters near the destination.
This is the premier side for photography. Request a seat behind the wing for an unobstructed view of the Arraial do Cabo coastline. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting for the lagoons and the ocean. Watch for the 'Pontal do Atalaia' just before landing, as its white sands and blue waters are iconic.

Serra do Caraça
Views of the rugged peaks and deep valleys of this historic sanctuary and mountain range in Minas Gerais.
Atlantic Forest Biome
Dense stretches of preserved rainforest as the flight crosses the border between Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro.
Búzios Peninsula
As the plane nears Cabo Frio, look for the jagged coastline and upscale beaches of the Armação dos Búzios area.
Sit on this side for morning flights to enjoy the sunrise reflecting off the mountains. Keep an eye out for the transition from the red earth of Minas to the deep greens of the coastal ranges. This side is better if the approach path takes you over the northern beaches of the Lagos Region.
