Alter do Chao

Alter do Chão

The magic of the Amazonian Caribbean

July 16-21 6 days and 5 nights

Alter do Chão was once called the "Caribbean of the Amazon" because of its freshwater and white sand beaches.

But our expedition goes far beyond the postcard: we've created an exclusive itinerary, designed for you to discover what most travelers never get to see.

You will sleep in riverside communities, taste fish roasted by the river to the sounds of the forest, walk along trails among ancient trees, and learn traditions passed down through generations.

It's not mass tourism. It's true immersion.

Timeline

Welcome to the Amazonian Caribbean.

Departure from Santarém – Arrival in Alter do Chão

Arrival in Santarém and transfer to Alter do Chão.

The Piraoca trail leads to the viewpoint, offering views of the village and the rivers that will accompany us throughout the week. A refreshing swim at Praia do Amor and Praia do Caju, a welcoming sight from nature.

It's the beginning of disconnecting from routine and surrendering to the rhythm of the forest.

Tapajós National Forest: the force of life

Tapajós National Forest

A 6 km trail through the forest, between 40-meter-tall trees and crystal-clear streams. It's a dive into the essence of the Amazon.

At night, one of the most unforgettable experiences: sleeping in hammocks in the heart of the forest, listening only to the nocturnal sounds of the woods.

This is when you understand: the Amazon is alive, and you are now a part of it.

Jaramaquá Community + Secret Beaches

Jaramaquá Community – a stroll along the beaches

Experience life with local residents, enjoy a traditional lunch made with care, and hear stories that only those who live by the river can tell.

In the afternoon, a boat trip along the nearly deserted beaches of the Tapajós River, with waters that look more like the Caribbean Sea.

Alter is not just beauty, it's culture that transforms.

Jari Canal + the magic of Piracaia

Jari Canal – confluence of the rivers – Piracaia

A stroll along the Jari Canal, encountering giant water lilies, sloths, and pink river dolphins.

At night, the most anticipated celebration: the Piracaia cultural festival, with fresh fish grilled on the beach, open food, open bar, and lots of music.

It's a party, it's a gathering, it's the Amazon in the form of a celebration.

Dwarf and Arapiuns Communities: An Amazon that few know.

ARAPIUNS RIVER

Here is one of the biggest highlights of our itinerary: the immersion in the Dwarf Community and the beaches of Arapiuns.

Very few travelers make it this far. You'll sleep in hammocks with families, learn about community projects, and experience firsthand what it's like to live in the authentic Amazon.

This is not a tourist trip, it's a meeting of lives.

Recharge your batteries with a trip full of beaches and swimming opportunities.

Arapiuns River beaches and sunset

Boat trip along the river's most crystalline beaches and a visit to the community of São Marcos, where we will experience an ancestral custom: learning how to make flour with local families.

Then, we returned to Santarém with our hearts full and the certainty that the Amazon is no longer just a place on the map—it is now a part of you.

Completing this journey means taking a transformation with you.
