Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers spectacular views of the Serra do Espinhaço mountain range and the dramatic transition from the lush Atlantic forest remnants to the arid Jequitinhonha Valley landscapes.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏞️

Serra do Cipó

Stunning views of the National Park featuring jagged peaks, numerous waterfalls, and rare rock-field vegetation.

💎

Diamantina Highlands

The rugged terrain surrounding the historic mining town, marked by stony mountains and ancient geological formations.

🏜️

Jequitinhonha Valley

Aerial perspective of the deep river valleys and the increasingly arid landscape as the flight moves toward Bahia.

🌵

Caatinga Transition

Visual shift in vegetation as the flight approaches Vitória da Conquista, entering the semi-arid shrubland zone.

☁️

Planalto da Conquista

The high plateau of Vitória da Conquista, often shrouded in its famous morning mist or 'nevoeiro'.

The right side is superior for mountain lovers. Try to secure a seat in the morning to see the sun illuminating the eastern faces of the Serra do Espinhaço. Avoid seats directly over the wing (usually rows 10-20 on regional jets) to ensure an unobstructed view of the deep valleys of northern Minas Gerais.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏙️

Pampulha Modern Ensemble

Aerial view of the UNESCO World Heritage site including the Mineirão Stadium and the Church of Saint Francis of Assisi.

🕳️

Karst Formations

Limestone landscapes and cave regions near Sete Lagoas, known for unique geomorphological structures.

⛰️

Serra do Cabral

An isolated mountain range in central Minas Gerais with dramatic quartzite outcrops and high-altitude plateaus.

🌳

Cerrado Biome

Expansive views of the Brazilian savanna, characterized by twisted trees and vast agricultural patches.

Sit on the left for the best views of Belo Horizonte's northern expansion during takeoff. This side is typically better for sunset views if flying in the late afternoon, though the sun glare can be intense. Look for the distinct sinkholes of the karst region shortly after reaching cruising altitude.
