PVH → RBR
Which side of the plane to sit from Governador Jorge Teixeira de Oliveira Airport (Porto Velho) to Plácido de Castro Airport (Rio Branco)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the massive Madeira River immediately after takeoff and provides a more dramatic perspective of the winding Acre River during the approach into Rio Branco.
Search flights from PVH to RBR
Madeira River
One of the world's most powerful rivers, often seen in its full width right after departing PVH.
Pristine Rainforest
Vast stretches of deep green canopy that appear as an endless carpet of broccoli from above.
Oxbow Lakes
Numerous abandoned river meanders forming perfect crescent-shaped lakes deep in the jungle.
Acre River Meanders
Stunning, tight river loops that wind like a serpent as the plane descends toward Rio Branco.
The right side is generally better for photography due to the sun's position being predominantly in the south. Early morning flights provide beautiful soft light over the misty forest canopy and river surfaces.

Porto Velho Cityscape
Aerial view of the capital of Rondônia and its urban sprawl along the riverbanks during departure.
BR-364 Highway
The main logistical artery of the region, visible as a long scar through the dense vegetation.
Agricultural Frontier
Clear patterns of the 'fishbone' deforestation and cattle ranching expansion typical of this part of the Amazon.
Abunã Region
The area where the road nears the Bolivian border and crosses significant tributaries.
Sit on the left if you are interested in the human geography of the Amazon, specifically the expansion of agriculture and the BR-364 corridor. Afternoon flights may face direct glare on this side as you fly westward.
