BELÉM

Belém is located 120km from the Atlantic ocean and it has the biggest port on the Amazon river. From Belém, you set sail for any place that is navigable on the Amazon and its tributaries. At the Ver O Peso market and port, there is not much for a tourist to buy. Yet, the display of fruit, vegetables, plants, animals and fish, not to mention the people, is fascinating. 

          

MARAJÓ ISLAND

In the mouth of the Amazon River, there is an island with almost 50.000 km2 of area,  making it the biggest estuary archipelago in the world.  Marajó Island has almost a thousand years of history, with a rich culture and a hot and humid climate. It is an important ecological sanctuary.
