Two of the largest rivers in the
world come together right in front of Santarem, the Amazon and the
Tapajos. On the Santarem City Tour, you will have the opportunity
to see the "meeting of the waters" and the many riverboats coming and
going to the riverside villages in this part of the Amazon.
Included in the 3-4 hour tour is a stop at the largest market place
between Belem and Manaus, the Mercadao 2000. There will also be a
visit to Praca Mirante, (Outlook Square) from where you can get a
fantastic
view of the two rivers coming together, the clear water of the Tapajos
with the muddy water of the Amazon. There will be another stop at
the local Joao Fona Museum to see the small but exquisite collection of
Tapajonica ceramics. And yet another stop in the commercial
section of town for shopping at the arts and crafts stores and other
establishments. Your guide will also point out some of the
restaurants in town where you can eat some of the finest fish in the
world.
