 | Belém Flights and Airline Tips | 1 - 10 of 10 |  |
The easiest way to go to Belém is by plane. You can get good rates if you buy the ticket in advance. Take a look in Gol (www.voegol.com.br)
The other two ways to go to Belém is by bus or by boat. Depending on where is your departure you can take several hours (from São Luiz- Maranhão to Belém: 14 hours by bus) or several days ( from Santarém to Belém: 3 days by boat, it's a very long but also a very interesting journey).

The best way to go around is by bus, however you will have to ask people for the information, this is ok people here like to help.
Also you can take a taxi cab, you can trust in the most of then, however there are some not good, so you may ask for the price before take the way you want. Taxis are a bit expensive here. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

in 1960 Brasil started it big project connecting the Atlantic with the Pacific Ocean, building the Transamazonica or Highway BR-230, lot of Rainforest diappeared, many Indian Tribes where robbed of their land, actually a sad event at the time. thank god these days enviromental issus are handeled more careful and considered for all people and fauna&flora involved.
those days, Belem was only reachable on a 900km dirt road from Brasilia, 3/4 way towards Belem, we crossed the Transamazonia and went straight up into Belem. after that I felt quite crooked...have a look at the sec. pic
but....we have seen so much, realy a trip of a lifetime. have a look at the map.
it was simply stunning..but when one is young, one does such travels.
if I had the same desicion to make today, I would take the plane.
travelling from Belem to Manaus, 6 days on the mighty River...I would do that again, in between I would like to stop in Santarem...3 day ride from Belem. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

Some cruise ships stop here, it is a very large port and it takes two days travel from Recife. There is also an international airport.
Best to get a guy with a car who speaks a little of your language to wheel you around. It is pretty outside of town. The city is decaying.
Brazil has an extensive bus system for long distance travel and there is also a great variety of fairly good sized river craft which go up and down the Amazon. Theme: Ship/Boat

The place is full of life, densely occupied with people and products from the Amazon. The fish market, a steel construction imported from Glasgow in 1901, is the most memorable image of the city. Ver-o-Peso market is a historical site and was recently renewed.
In addition to the fresh fruit, vegetable, plants and fish brought to market by dugout canoe, you'll find some crafts from the Amazon, indigenous ceramic, items for macumba ceremonies, medicinal herbs, aromatic roots and potions... It's like a picture postcard where colours, smells and flavours are all mixed together into a scene that is varied and original. There are also numerous cheap restaurants where you can try some tasty local food.
The name Ver-o-Peso means Check out the Weight. This is because a few decades ago all products sold were weighted on the spot, in manual balances, and the buyer wanted to check out the weight to avoid frauds.
The market is on the docks and is one of the largests in Brazil. It has more than 2000 stalls. It's open all day, from 4am to 3pm, but you should aim to arrive early to get the freshest produce. Directions: the margins of Guajara's bay
