Santarem, Brazil City Tour

Can you suggest a tour company for a Santarem, Brazil City Tour?

All of my tour searches for Santarem come up with the "Meeting of the Waters" which I will be doing from Alter Do Chao, Brazil.

So I would like to do a city tour in Santarem.

I have not been there but here is some info. Sounds like you could just walk into town. There is a town map on that page as well.

There is not a lot to see in Santarem. Unfortunately, the port is around 2 miles from the center of town. If you arrive around noon, as we did, it's a hot walk. They do have taxis, but I thought they were a bit expensive considering the distance--I think it was about $10 per cab. In town we got wi-fi at the place that is at the sort of point. There is a gift shop there and it hangs out over the water. You can see the meeting of the waters from the ship or from the wi-fi place.

Probably the most popular tour there is the piranha fishing tour. You take a river boat down a sort of tributary and stop to try to fish for piranhas. Along the way there are usually birds to see and water buffalo.

Santarem is quite small, and very grubby. Most interesting sight we saw was vultures fighting over rubbish bins :D

OK for a wander, but not worth a "city tour" - if indeed there even is such a thing.

While there (overnite) we sailed the meeting / wedding of the waters (sounds much grander than it is, it's just where muddy brown water meets less-muddy brown water, but the whole boat ride was excellent), and a rain-forest walk (IMHO a waste of time, little to see) combined with time relaxing at Alter Chao - a very attractive lazy waterfront.

I wonder whether you'd do better to spend your Alter Chao day relaxing on its beach, and do the meeting-of-the-waters from Santarem. :confused:

A wider choice of boats in Santarem and less travelling overall.
