The Expedition lasts 6 days and 5 nights

Meeting point: Santarém (PA)

Recommended airport: Aeroporto de Santarém, Maestro Wilson Fonseca (STM)

Difficulty level: Light

We don't just pass through Alter do Chão, we stay. You sleep in riverside communities, taste grilled fish right by the riverbank with the forest singing around you, and walk trails among trees that have witnessed centuries of history.

Along the way, there are warm river dips, hammocks for guilt-free resting, and conversations that go late into the night. Local traditions are shared by those who grew up with them, authentic and unhurried.

All with the care, safety, and warmth that define our way of traveling.

The real Amazon, at the pace of those who live there.

What our days will look like

Welcome to the Amazonian Caribbean

Arrival in Santarém and a short transfer to Alter do Chão. The village is small yet lively, and in just a few minutes you understand why the region is called the Amazonian Caribbean.

We take a gentle hike up Piraoca to the viewpoint, taking in views of the village and the river confluence below.

Afterward, enjoy a dip at Praia do Amor and Praia do Caju to cool off from the journey.

Transformation and wisdom

The experience with Ana Carms was magnificent. The team welcomes you and makes the trip far more special. The care they take with each one of us warms our hearts. The commitment, the respect, the wish to make everyone feel comfortable and part of the family are marks we carry from every experience with them. On this trip I was with the lovely Ana, the caring Flávio and the sweetness and lightness of Roque. I can only thank the whole team for another sensational journey. This team has something of its own and wins us over trip after trip. Congratulations again on delivering impeccable work.

Transformative

My experience on this trip to the Amazon was extremely positive. The agency put together a rich programme, with authentic experiences that let me get to know the local culture, the forest, the rivers and the biodiversity of the region in a very special way. The organisation was efficient from planning through to the activities themselves. The outings happened as agreed, the professionals showed real knowledge of the region and there was genuine concern to give travellers a complete experience. What I liked most was the chance to live transformative experiences, such as direct contact with the Amazon, the connection with people from different places and actions that encourage environmental preservation. It was a trip that exceeded my expectations and contributed a great deal to my personal growth. As a suggestion, I would reinforce the importance of always prioritising responsible and sustainable tourism practices, valuing the conservation of the fauna, the flora and the local communities. I also believe one of the days in Presidente Figueiredo could have been better used: we had a long drive to visit a single waterfall, while the region offers several outstanding natural attractions. Perhaps a more optimised route, including other waterfalls or nearby points of interest, would make the experience even richer. I recommend the agency to anyone looking for a genuine Amazon experience, with adventure, learning and connection with nature, and I take the chance to encourage women to travel solo: a trustworthy agency makes all the difference in that turning point.
