RECAJU

Our Recommendation
9.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side of the aircraft offers spectacular views of the Brazilian coastline, including the turquoise waters of Alagoas and the dramatic mouth of the Sao Francisco River.

Left Side Highlights
9.2
🏖️

Recife & Jaboatao Shoreline

Immediately after takeoff, witness the long stretches of Boa Viagem and Piedade beaches with their protective coral reefs.

🚢

Suape Port Complex

A bird's-eye view of one of Brazil's most important industrial hubs and its deep-water harbor.

🌊

Maragogi Natural Pools

On clear days, the 'Gales' natural pools appear as vibrant turquoise circles in the dark blue Atlantic.

🏙️

Maceio Coastline

The stunning urban beaches of Ponta Verde and Pajucara are visible as the flight traverses the Alagoas coast.

💧

Sao Francisco River Mouth

The majestic sight of the 'River of National Unity' emptying into the Atlantic Ocean near Piacabucu.

🌴

Aracaju Atalaia Beach

The final approach provides a clear view of the expansive Orla de Atalaia and the Sergipe coastline.

Choose the left side for morning flights to have the sun behind you, illuminating the turquoise water. Seats behind the wing offer the most unobstructed views of the coral reefs and river estuaries. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes into the flight for the best coastal shots.

Right Side Highlights
6.8
🏙️

Recife Metropolitan Area

Extensive views of the city's western districts and the intersection of the Capibaribe and Beberibe rivers.

🌱

Zona da Mata Landscape

Vast rolling hills covered in emerald-green sugar cane plantations, typical of the regional economy.

⛰️

Agreste Transitions

Inland views showing the transition from the humid coastal belt to the semi-arid interior topography.

🐍

Sao Francisco River Basin

View the wide, winding path of the Sao Francisco River as it cuts through the landscape further inland.

🌆

Aracaju City & Sergipe River

During the descent, view the grid-like pattern of Aracaju and the winding Sergipe River that defines the city's edge.

The right side is preferable for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the sun reflecting off the ocean. It offers a better perspective of the regional geography and the urban expansion of the cities in the Northeast. Watch for the change in vegetation as you move south.
