The iconic lighthouse and the protected marine areas of the TAMAR project are often visible shortly after takeoff.
Atlantic Horizon
Expansive views of the turquoise Atlantic waters and the distinct patterns of coral reefs near the shore.
Mangue Seco
The stunning dunes and coconut groves near the border of Bahia and Sergipe where the Rio Real meets the sea.
Aracaju Shoreline
On approach, enjoy a low-altitude view of the Orla de Atalaia, one of Brazil's most beautiful urban waterfronts.
Vaza-Barris River
The wide, meandering mouth of the Vaza-Barris river creates a beautiful color contrast with the ocean.
The right side is premier for coastal photography. On morning flights, the sun illuminates the shoreline perfectly. During the descent into AJU, look for the 'Crôa do Goré' sandbanks in the river delta. Since this is a short flight (approx. 45 mins), keep your window shade open from takeoff to landing.
