Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The Left Side offers the most dramatic views as you approach the destination, providing a direct perspective of the massive Araguaia River and the city of Conceição do Araguaia.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🌊

Araguaia River

The dominant geographic feature of the region, marking the border between the states of Pará and Tocantins.

🏖️

Praia do Pontal

During the dry season (July-August), extensive white sand beaches appear along the riverbanks near the city.

🏘️

Conceição do Araguaia

The urban layout of the city becomes visible on the approach, nestled right against the river's edge.

🛶

River Archipelagos

Numerous small islands and braided river channels that characterize this stretch of the Araguaia.

Sit on the left for the best views of the Araguaia River during the descent. If flying in the morning, be prepared for some glare as the sun rises in the east; however, this is also when the river mist creates the most atmospheric views. During the peak of the dry season (July), look for the 'veraneio' camps on the sandbanks.

Right Side Highlights
5.5
🚜

Agricultural Mosaic

A bird's-eye view of the massive cattle ranches (fazendas) that define the economy of southeastern Pará.

🌳

Cerrado Transition

The landscape transition between Amazonian rainforest and the Brazilian savanna (Cerrado).

🛣️

PA-287 Highway

The main road artery connecting Redenção to the river, visible as a straight line through the pastures.

The right side is better for afternoon flights to avoid the direct sun. You will see the vastness of the Pará interior and the scale of local agribusiness. Keep an eye out for small landing strips on private farms, which are very common in this region.
