Historic Recife & Olinda
A panoramic view of the Port of Recife and the colonial hills of Olinda shortly after leaving the runway.
Caruaru Skyline
The 'Capital of the Agreste' is often visible to the north, showcasing the largest urban center in the Pernambuco interior.
Caatinga Mosaic
Detailed views of the unique white-forest vegetation and the geometric patterns of small rural farmsteads.
Statue of Father Cícero
The towering white monument on Colina do Horto, a major pilgrimage site, is often visible during the final descent into JDO.
The right side is essential for seeing the cultural landmarks of Juazeiro do Norte. For the best view of the Father Cícero statue, ensure you are looking out during the last 5-10 minutes of the flight. If flying in the late afternoon, the sunset over the Sertão on this side can be spectacular, though be prepared for some sun glare.
