Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior view of the dramatic Serra do Lajeado cliffs upon departure from Palmas and a better angle of the city's unique planned grid layout and the vast agricultural plateaus of northern Tocantins.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Serra do Lajeado

Spectacular red sandstone cliffs and plateaus that create a natural wall east of the capital.

🏙️

Palmas Urban Grid

Perfect view of Brazil's newest planned capital, featuring wide boulevards and organized blocks.

🌾

Matopiba Plateaus

High-altitude plains showcasing the geometric patterns of large-scale soybean and corn farming.

🏘️

Araguaína Approach

A comprehensive view of Tocantins' second-largest city and its industrial and logistics hubs.

The right side is the definitive choice for morning departures when the rising sun illuminates the red cliffs of the Serra do Lajeado. During the initial climb, look specifically for the Praça dos Girassóis, which is the heart of the city's planned layout. During the rainy season (October to March), expect lush green landscapes compared to the golden browns of the dry winter.

Left Side Highlights
7.6
🌊

Lajeado Reservoir

The massive artificial lake formed by the Tocantins River, stretching along the city's border.

🛶

Rio Tocantins

Follow the winding course of one of Brazil's major river systems as it flows northward.

🌳

Cerrado Mosaic

Aerial views of the distinct savannah-like landscape interspersed with gallery forests.

☁️

Amazonian Fringes

Observe the transition to more humid, cloud-prone environments as the flight moves north.

Choose the left side for afternoon flights to enjoy the sun reflecting off the water surfaces of the Tocantins River. This side is also excellent for spotting the massive Lajeado Dam structure shortly after departure. Use a polarized lens for photography to cut through the haze of the Cerrado dry season.
