What does the Salvador to Goiania flight path pass over?

The flight crosses the Recôncavo region (agricultural lowlands east of Salvador), then transitions into Bahia's interior plateau with scattered towns and vegetation patterns. The Chapada Diamantina plateau appears as elevated terrain to the south. As the aircraft continues westward, the landscape becomes increasingly open Cerrado savanna with sparse vegetation, characteristic of central Brazil's interior. The Rio São Francisco valley may be visible to the south in clear conditions. No major mountain ranges cross this route, but the gradual elevation change from coastal lowlands (near sea level) to the central plateau (around 700-800 meters) is reflected in terrain texture and vegetation density.
