Detailed itinerary

1

We start our tour on the Tapajos River leaving Alter do Chao, southbound, enjoying the view of the Mureta Lake and beach, passing by the Jurucuri Lake, learning about the historic Pindobal beach, enjoying and stopping at the beautiful beaches of Cajutuba to take some cool pictures and enjoy a refreshing swim. Continuing, we will go to the Santo Domingo and Maguari dunes, where we will make a stop, and then we will reach the stream of crystalline waters of FLONA – Jamaraqua. Here, we will have a delicious picnic of fresh fruits with watermelon, pineapple, banana, passion fruit, orange, apple and coconut. Now, it will be even better, get prepared for what lies ahead!

Crossing the vast Tapajos River comes the best part of this adventure. We entered the Amorim region and describing it would be very daring on our part, but we are sure you will fall in love with the place; after all, whenever we have the opportunity to go there it is very pleasant! We will sail in clear waters to Cabeceira do Amorim where we will pass to a smaller vessel of the local natives, due to the low water level and narrow channels.

Here our adventure will take on a Wild dimension… We will pass by beautiful Igapos (flooded forest), small remote communities, and going up the Amorim stream. For several kilometers, we will have a lot of adrenaline, having to avoid numerous obstacles such as tree trunks, dense forests that often pass inches from our heads (wow!), extremely sharp curves and sometimes encountering other vessels where only one can pass each time. Let there be heart!

The return is a replay of the ascent through the stream with the detail that we will be in favor of the current and increasing the speed, the adrenaline and the level of emotion will increase considerably (if you want to see what we are talking about, take a look at the wild videos section ). We will then return to Alter do Chao with a big smile of relief on our lips and a delicious feeling of victory in our hearts.
