This Arapiuns River boat tour from Alter do Chão takes you into a wider and quieter Amazon. Here the river becomes the road: deserted beaches, pale sand dunes and vegetation follow one another, while local communities add a real human dimension to the journey.

The route starts northbound, passes Cururu tip for a first photo stop, then crosses the impressive Tapajós near Vila Franca before entering the Arapiuns. A stop at the Urucureá community reveals local handicrafts and the river’s history. It is a true river expedition, ideal for deeper immersion around the Tapajós.
