What to do on the Marajó island?

The Marajó Island is famous for the water bufallos, for the Marajoara pottery, from the Marajoara indigenous, and for the esplendid nature.

Once on the island one can taste the buffalo meat, the cheese. To buy buffalo leather products one should go to the Curtume (tannery), in the 3rd avenue ( Terceira avenida).

The most practical way to explore the beaches around the island is to rent a bicycle at Bimba's repair shop on the 4th street. The beaches Barra Velha and Pesqueiro, both mangrove beaches, are the nicest.

One good way to get in touch with the beautiful scenarios of the island is to book a visit in a farm for 50R$ (approx. 17€). The two biggest are the Bom Jesus and the São Jerômimo. A simple call from your hostel will be enough.

The to the the adventures canoeing through the Igarapés,...

... crossing the mangrove forests...

... and riding the water buffaloes.

Awesome experiences in the rain forest!

Cheers everyone!

The Marajó island offers the perfect background for amazing shots. The nature, the inhabitants and their way of life are just waiting to be registered.

Beautiful!
