Santarém

Santarém is a small city in the Brazilian state of Pará, where the Tapajós River meets the Amazon. This “meeting of the waters” phenomenon can be viewed from the hilltop Mirante do Tapajós Square. On the riverfront, the Centro Cultural João Fona has relics from the ancient indigenous Tapajós culture. Nearby, the Museu Dica Frazão displays the textiles that Brazilian artist Dica Frazão crafts from natural materials.
