Trek deep into the Tapajós National Forest (FLONA) with an expert local guide, visiting the traditional ribeirinho community of Jamaraquá on a pristine river beach. Rated the top-rated tour in Alter do Chão on TripAdvisor — and it shows.
What to expect
A scenic boat ride down the Tapajós delivers you to the forest edge, where your guide leads a trail walk through primary Amazon rainforest, pointing out towering Brazil-nut trees, tropical birds, and medicinal plants used by local communities. You arrive at Jamaraquá, a serene riverside settlement whose residents welcome small groups for cultural exchange and a freshwater swim off a spectacular white-sand beach. The return journey offers sweeping river views with the setting sun turning the Tapajós golden. Rated 4.8 stars across 50+ reviews, this is consistently the standout experience in the region.
Good to know
Approximately 6–8 hours; confirm your ship's all-aboard time. Wear closed-toe shoes and lightweight long trousers for the forest trail. Pre-booking is essential as FLONA limits daily visitor numbers. A FLONA entry permit is included in the tour price.
