Romaria Fluvial do Círio de Nazaré

Saindo de Belém rumo a Icoaraci

Chegando em Icoaraci. Dezenas de embarcações.

Gaiolas. Po-po-pôs. Balsas. Lanchas. Jet Skys. Catamarãs.

Retornando a Belém.

Pela orla da cidade

Ver-o-Peso e Feliz Lusitânia

Final da Procissão.

O Barco.


Lá fora o Arraial do pavulagem (grupo de boi-bumbá) estava-se preparando pra uma caminhada até a catedral.


Depois da romaria fluvial foi realizada a romaria dos motoqueiros (!). Era uma moto mais incrementada que outra e tinha cada figura em cima delas. Mas não deu pra tirar fotos por quê a máquina já estava cheia.

Some information:

Belem (Organized Tours)

The tour agency in Belém with the best and largest variety of tours is Amazon Star Turismo, Rua Henrique Gurjão 236 (tel. 091/3241-8624; www.amazonstar.com.br). Valeverde Turismo, Estação das Docas, building 1 (tel. 091/3212-3388; www.valeverdeturismo.com.br), is another reputable agency, located in the upstream end of the Estação das Docas.

Boat Tours -- The most unique tour in Belém is the early morning excursion to Parrot Island, a small semi-flooded island a few kilometers offshore that is the bedroom of choice for hundreds of Amazonian parrots. Boats depart at 5am (4:30am hotel pickup) to arrive at the island in the grey pre-dawn. As the sky lightens the parrots awake. They squawk, circle around to find their mates, then fly away into the dawn. Afterwards the tour explores the small side channels of islands in the estuary. Amazon Star does this tour particularly well. The price is R$55 (US$18), hotel pickup and drop-off included. For later risers, Amazon Star also has a half-day River Trip through the channels and creeks of Guamá River (a tributary of the Amazon), with a stop for a guided walk in the forest. Departures are 8:30am and 2:30pm; the R$55 (US$18) fee includes pickup and drop-off.

A gorgeous evening option is Valeverde's 1 1/2-hour Lights of the City cruise, which departs nightly from the Estação das Docas and circles offshore of Belém, allowing passengers to observe as the lights come on the city's historic churches and monuments. The price is R$18 (US$6); cruises depart Wednesday and Thursday at 7:30pm, Friday and Saturday at 7:30 and 9:30pm, and Sunday at 8pm.

Bus Tours -- The trip to Icoaraci is highly recommended.

Hiking -- Highly recommended for those in reasonable physical condition are Amazon Star's trekking tours. The 1-day tour departs before sunrise, crossing the Guamá River to a jungle-covered section of the Amazon estuary around Boa Vista. There follows a full-day, 27-mile (17km) trek in the jungle, observing wildlife and visiting caboclo communities who make a living growing cassava and fishing. At the far end of the Acará River there's time for a rest and some swimming, followed by a sunset cruise back to Belém. Cost is R$95 (US$30), guide and lunch included (July-Dec only). Their two-day trek follows the same route, but you overnight in a hammock on the Acará and return to Belém next day (R$135/US$45).

Walking Tours -- Both Amazon Star and Valeverde offer 3-hour walking tours of old Belém with stops at all the major sites, including the Ver-o-Peso Market, the Teatro da Paz, and the Nazaré Basilica. Tours start at R$25 (US$8.25).
