Santarém Rivers Tour

Having met up at 9 am at the Tourist Information Centre in Alter do Chão, we'll board a boat and head to Santarém to see the exact point where the Amazon and Tapajós Rivers meet.

During our boat trip, we'll pass by Lake Verde, the Enchanted Forest where you can take a 40-minute canoe trip, and Piranha Lake. To cool off, we'll stop at Moça Beach for a selection of fruit. We'll then head to Crocodile Lake to spot otters, alligators, and turtles.

At around 1 pm, we'll arrive at Ponta de Pedras for a lunch of fish, meat, and typical side dishes. Following lunch, we'll explore the Tapari and Negro Lakes, both natural treasures in the Amazon, part of the Santarém region.

We'll then reach the meeting point of the Amazon and Tapajós Rivers, where you'll be able to jump into the water and feel the difference in temperature of the waters. You might even see the friendly pink Amazon River dolphin. After our swim, we'll enter the city of Santarém for a 1-hour tour to learn about its history. We will return to Alter do Chão, enjoying the sunset at Ponta do Cururu.

Our estimated arrival time back at the meeting point is 7 pm.
