Amazon Quest: Santarém Expedition


Package Details

Venture into the heart of the Amazon, where rivers, forests, and ancient cultures converge to create one of Brazil’s most powerful natural sanctuaries. This expedition was crafted for travelers seeking discovery, connection, and the deep, living pulse of Santarém and its surrounding wonders.

Here, nature sets the rhythm — from the meeting of the blue Tapajós and the emerald Amazon to quiet mornings in riverside communities and golden afternoons on freshwater beaches. Santarém is an entryway into an Amazon that feels vibrant, warm, and breathtakingly alive.

What You Should Know About the Region

Santarém sits precisely where two great worlds collide: the Tapajós River, known for its crystalline blue-green waters, and the mighty Amazon, with its deep, fertile currents. This rare confluence creates a landscape of dramatic beauty and cultural richness.

From the iconic community of Alter do Chão — the “Caribbean of the Amazon” — to forest trails, floodplain lakes, and indigenous heritage sites, the region offers a balance of adventure and serenity. Expect shifting landscapes, biodiverse ecosystems, and encounters that honor the Amazon’s ancestral spirit.

Local Cuisine

Amazonian cuisine in Santarém is vibrant, aromatic, and deeply tied to the rivers and forests. Ingredients like tucupi, jambu, pirarucu, tambaqui, açaí, and priprioca reflect both local tradition and biodiversity.

Meals often combine bold flavors with rustic techniques — grilled fish wrapped in leaves, cassava dishes prepared over slow heat, fruit juices straight from the forest, and sweets infused with regional spices. Dining here is more than nourishment; it is cultural immersion.
