Baía de São Marcos
Capture the expansive blue waters and sandbars of the bay that separates the island of São Luís from the mainland.
Reentrâncias Maranhenses
A stunning labyrinth of mangrove islands, estuaries, and hidden beaches that define this unique ecological corridor.
Rio Gurupi Estuary
Watch where the blackwater rivers of the Amazon basin meet the Atlantic, creating visible sediment plumes in the ocean.
Ilha de Marajó
As you approach Belém, look north to see the southern coastline of the world's largest fluvial-maritime island.
The right side is the scenic winner for nature lovers. For the best photographic contrast of the mangroves against the sea, choose a midday or afternoon flight when the sun is high. Watch for the dramatic color changes in the water as the aircraft crosses the various river mouths along the Pará coast.

São Luís Skyline
View the historic island city's blend of colonial architecture and modern coastal developments during takeoff.
Porto do Itaqui
Observe one of Brazil's largest and deepest maritime ports, a critical hub for iron ore and agricultural exports.
Amazonian Canopy
Gaze over the dense transition from coastal mangroves to the deep green expanse of the eastern Amazon rainforest.
Belém Urban Area
See the dense skyline of Belém, known as the 'Metropolis of the Amazon,' during the final descent into Val de Cans.
The left side is preferable for morning flights to avoid the direct equatorial sun. It provides the best views of the urban layouts of both São Luís and Belém. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff for the industrial docks and during the final five minutes of the flight for the cityscape.
