Turning out of the muddy Amazon, you will cruise into the blue Rio Tabajos, to anchor off the village of Alter do Chao. Here you can tour the Center for Preservation of Indigenous Arts, with displays on the lifestyles of local tribes.

A 45 minute bus ride from the Amazon port City of Santerem, known as the Caribbean of the Amazon as it is one of the world's most beautiful river beaches. The photogenic highlight of the town is Ilha do Amor ("island of love") a sandbar that slowly extends across the lagoon towards the town as river levels recede during the dry season for a refreshing swim in the clear river waters..
