Santarém

Santerem is a passing city still poorly known and poorly frequented, although it is a nice place between the two main cities in Amazonas (Manaus and Belèm). Santerem remains a place which does not attract a lot of tourists. But when you look at it more closely you will notice many interesting spots in the surroundings. Less populated than Manaus, there is more chance to encounter some amazonian animal species. Moreover Santerem is located at the confluence of the Rio Tapajós and the Rio Amazonas. These two rivers flow side by side on several kilometers before mixing their light brown and dark brown waters. You can admire this beautiful view from the shore.
