Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side offers a superior view of the rolling hills of the Minas countryside and a better perspective of the Belo Horizonte metropolitan area and the scenic Lagoa Santa during the final approach.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🌿

Triângulo Mineiro

Lush pastures and cattle ranches typical of this productive agricultural region.

🌊

Furnas Glimmer

On clear days, the southern horizon may reveal the distant waters of the Furnas Reservoir complex.

🏙️

Belo Horizonte Fringe

Visuals of the sprawling northern suburbs of the state capital during the landing pattern.

🏞️

Lagoa Santa

A clear view of the historic lake and town that neighbors the Tancredo Neves International Airport.

The right side is ideal for late afternoon flights to capture the sunset over the rolling hills. During descent, watch for the limestone outcrops and caves characteristic of the 'APA Carste de Lagoa Santa' region just before touchdown at CNF.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🏠

Uberaba Departure

Aerial view of the 'Zebu Capital' and its industrial hubs shortly after takeoff.

⛰️

Araxá Highlands

Distant views of the plateaus near the famous spa and mining city to the north.

🚜

Cerrado Patchwork

Large-scale agricultural fields creating a geometric mosaic across the landscape.

💧

Sete Lagoas Karst

Passing near the unique geological formations and lakes of Sete Lagoas during the descent.

Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. Look for the massive phosphate mines near Araxá which appear as large light-colored patches on the green landscape. This side is typically better for spotting the expansive Cerrado plateaus.
