Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the massive Três Marias Reservoir and the distinct transition from the urban highlands of Belo Horizonte to the vast agricultural plains of the Triângulo Mineiro.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
💧

Lagoa Santa Karst

Views of the diverse lagoon systems and unique limestone formations north of the metropolitan area.

🌊

Três Marias Reservoir

The 'Sweet Sea' of Minas Gerais, a massive artificial lake formed by the damming of the São Francisco River.

🐍

São Francisco River

The winding path of Brazil's 'River of National Integration' as it flows northward through the plateau.

🌽

Triângulo Mineiro Agribusiness

Vibrant green and yellow fields of large-scale grain production approaching the Uberlândia region.

✈️

Confins Airport View

A bird's eye view of BH Airport (CNF) and its long runway shortly after departing from the smaller PLU airport.

The right side is best for morning flights to see the sun illuminating the Três Marias Reservoir. Look out roughly 20-25 minutes after takeoff for the best views of the water. Avoid this side during late afternoon to prevent harsh glare from the western sun.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Belo Horizonte Skyline

Panoramic view of the sprawling capital city and the iconic Serra do Curral mountain range immediately after takeoff.

🏭

Industrial Belt

Aerial perspective of the heavy industrial zones of Contagem and Betim, including major automotive plants.

⛰️

Serra da Canastra Distant Peaks

On clear days, the high plateau of the Canastra National Park is visible on the distant southern horizon.

🚜

Agricultural Patchwork

Geometric patterns of coffee and soybean plantations characteristic of the fertile Minas Gerais interior.

Sit on the left for sunset flights to witness the orange glow over the rolling hills of the Cerrado. In the morning, this side stays shaded, which is better for photography without glare.
