On the Arapiuns River, our first stop will be at the rough diamond discovered by Selvagem Tours: the community of Urucureá, which, in a nutshell, is a wonderful cove that branches into 3 waterways, offering an unparalleled view and thus showcasing the potential of the region's newest tourist destination. One highlight is the picturesque church, which is located outside the community and built on top of a hill. We will visit the property of Mr. Tapajós and his family, who will showcase the skill of the native women in creating handcrafted pieces made with mastery and great talent. One of the entertainment options is that we can witness the preparation and making of handicrafts (a true cultural show), in which those who take part gain valuable knowledge about the arts and history of the Arapiuns River.
The first option for those who want to immerse themselves in nature is to visit the community on a () very interesting hiking tour, as it follows the edge of the cove. The round-trip distance is 2.5 kilometers (an easy, leisurely walk that can be done in sneakers or even sandals), which takes about 1.5 hours. Along the way, we can take a short break for a refreshing swim, some daring photos, and then continue on. And, of course, we’ll be able to see birds, various species of monkeys, lizards, and much more. Quite a wild experience, isn't it?
After enjoying so much life, so many emotions and so much learning, it's time to head back there with your Tapajós. It's lunchtime! You'll get a taste of the Amazon with a (***) traditional lunch featuring fresh fish, free-range chicken and, sometimes, various meats – not to mention the fantastic setting where lunch is served. In addition to filling your stomach, it's also a feast for the eyes! After that, it's just lying back and swaying in that hammock, enjoying the breeze and appreciating the value of life…
We'll continue along the rocky banks of the Arapiuns River to our favorite stop, the fascinating Ponta do Toronó and Lake Grande. It’s hard to describe exactly what you’ll find, but to be honest, it’s nothing short of amazing to see how nature creates paradises. Life immediately becomes wonderful when you see places like these… We'll walk across sand dunes that stretch for dozens of meters, dividing the Arapiuns River into a large lake, with dozens of birds flying overhead and dolphins showing off their fins. Yes, life is beautiful. Our idea is to treat you to a picnic featuring fresh fruits such as watermelon, pineapple, banana, passion fruit, orange, apple and coconut. Savor the memory and capture it, because this is a great place for photos and for swimming in crystal-clear waters.
After that, we'll continue to Ponta do Icuxi to watch the sunset – the perfect moment to recall everything that has happened on a day that will stay in your mind and heart for the rest of your life.
