    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.
