Top Santarem Shore Excursions

Western Pará is famous for being considered the heart of the Amazon. In this region is the historic city of Santarém, poetically known as the Pearl of Tapajós. It considers a city a starting point for discoveries, such as the most beautiful freshwater beaches in the world, in Vila de Alter do Chão. From there, we'll cross by canoe and follow a trail that can only be accessed on foot or by bicycle. On the way, there is the possibility of contemplating birds and trees typical of the Amazon, smelling the white pitch, finding fruit trees from the region and taking an invigorating bath in the Tapajós River or in the lakes of Tapari and Lago Preto.

Heighten your chances of spotting a wide range of Amazonian flora and fauna on a 4-day sightseeing cruise. You’ll delve deeper into the culture of local communities and explore at a more relaxed pace than you would on a day trip, without having to worry abut planning activities and transfers.

Catch brilliant sunset views as you explore the water of Alter do Chão. Take a dip in the Enchanted Forest, birdwatch from the shores, and spot monkeys and sloths on Tilheiro island. Brave a trip to the Piranha Lake before tucking in to a picnic of fresh fruit at Moça beach. Drop anchor at Ponta do Cururu beach to take in a stunning sunset from the sand dunes.
