Campo Grande to Belo Horizonte is 697 miles (1,122 km), a flight of about 2 hours 5 minutes.
While both sides score equally, the right side (northeast approach) edges ahead for landing views of the Serra da Moeda and Belo Horizonte's dramatic valley setting, which provides more visual interest than the flat cerrado on the left. Takeoff slightly favors left for urban scenery, but landing scenery carries more weight on this short route.
Flight Path
The flight crosses central Brazilian cerrado with scattered vegetation, occasional water reservoirs, and gradual elevation increase toward Belo Horizonte. The landscape transitions from flat Campo Grande plateau to the more undulating terrain of Minas Gerais state. No major rivers or dramatic topographic features dominate the cruise segment, though the approach to Belo Horizonte reveals the escarpments and ridges that define the region's geology.
