Santarém stands where the clear Tapajós meets the muddy Amazon, and the two rivers run side by side without mixing for some distance below the city. The waterfront is the centre of the town's life, and the riverside market and port are its focus.
The meeting of the waters, visible from the waterfront and best seen by boat, is the city's signature sight. Alter do Chão downstream has white river beaches that appear when the water drops and is among the most striking spots in the Amazon, and the Tapajós national forest lies beyond.
The waterfront and centre are walkable, and boats are the main means of travel in the region. Buses reach Alter do Chão in under an hour, and the airport connects to Belém and Manaus.
River level governs everything here. The low-water months in the second half of the year expose the river beaches at Alter do Chão and are the main season, while high water floods the forest and suits boat exploration.
Brazil uses the BRL, calling code +55.
Brazil uses the real, and Portuguese is the language with little English spoken. Manner is relaxed and unhurried, and cash is worth carrying once you leave the city.
