SXX → OIA
Which side of the plane to sit from São Félix do Xingu Airport (Sao Felix do Xingu) to Ourilândia do Norte Airport (Ourilandia do Norte)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior view of the majestic Xingu River immediately after takeoff and provides a better perspective of the dense Amazonian canopy and the neighboring town of Tucumã during the descent.

Rio Xingu Confluence
Witness the massive Xingu River as it flows north, meeting the Rio Fresco right at the departure point of São Félix.
Pristine Rainforest Patches
Glimpses of untouched Amazonian jungle belonging to nearby indigenous territories, contrasting with surrounding developed land.
Tucumã Urban View
As the flight approaches its destination, you get a clear view of Tucumã, the twin city to Ourilândia do Norte.
Amazonian Horizon
Expansive views of the flat Pará landscape where the sky meets the endless green carpet of the basin.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Xingu River during the initial climb. Morning flights (07:00-09:00) are highly recommended to avoid the heavy convective clouds that typically build up by mid-afternoon. During the dry season (June to September), be prepared for some haze due to regional agricultural practices.

Deforestation Patterns
Observe the 'fishbone' patterns of land clearing that characterize the expansion of the agricultural frontier in Pará.
Cattle Ranching Estates
Massive 'fazendas' (ranches) visible as geometric light-green patches carved out of the darker jungle.
Mining Operations
Evidence of small and medium-scale mining activities, which are central to the local economy of Ourilândia.
Ourilândia Approach
A close-up view of the industrial and residential outskirts of Ourilândia do Norte as the plane aligns with the runway.
The right side is best for those interested in the human geography of the Amazon, specifically the 'Arc of Deforestation'. Because this is a very short flight (approx. 20-30 minutes), keep your camera ready from the moment of takeoff. The sun will be to the North/Northwest for most of the year, so the right side generally avoids direct afternoon glare.
