Belem: What to see in the surroundings?
What our travelers think about their stay
Viewed from the sky, the built area of Belém - which extends out into the estuary - offers a stark contrast with the wild, verdant appearance of the surrounding river banks. Opening onto both the ocean and the forest, the city serves as a major gateway to Amazonia.
My suggestion
Take a look round the port and watch the fishing boats returning. Just a short distance away, at the Ver-o-peso market, a wide range of Amazonian products is to be found, with food to eat on the go and good local beers to enjoy. I even found magic potions there.

My suggestion
If you're in Belém on a Sunday, make sure you go to the crafts market, with its Brazilian-style buzz.
