Located at the meeting point of the Tapajós and Amazon Rivers, Santarém is one of the most distinctive cities in the Brazilian Amazon. The region is surrounded by dense tropical vegetation, winding waterways and vast stretches of undeveloped landscape, making it a particularly interesting destination to explore from the air.
Santarém–Maestro Wilson Fonseca Airport (SBSN) serves as an important gateway to the region, connecting Santarém with destinations across Brazil and providing a unique setting for flight simulation.
This rendition brings Santarém to X-Plane 12 with detailed airport buildings and objects, custom terrain, high-resolution ground imagery and carefully placed tropical vegetation. From the busy airport environment to the surrounding Amazonian landscape, every part of the scenery has been developed to capture the character of this distinctive Brazilian destination.
