1/37.- Tourist Information Belem. Welcome to Belem do Para!

Belem, with two million inhabitants, is the biggest city on the delta of the Amazon river, in the North of Brazil. Belem is also the starting point for the cruise ships that sail along the longest river in the world to the city of Manaus. Belem itself has some points of interest, but the main attraction of Belem is the Amazon river and its rainforest.

Belem is located on the banks of the Bay of Guajara, on the estuary of the Amazon river. In the city of Belem, next to the Pará river, we find the refurbished docks; with its restaurants; the port, the market of Vero Peso and the old city (or Cidade Velha). Next to the market of Vero Peso is downtown Belem (or Centro). Further east are the new districts. The main points of interest are in the old districts, though.

On the following pages I will show you the city's main points of interest, and give you information about some nice excursions you can go on here.
