DESTINATION
Set between the rivers and the Atlantic Ocean, Marajó Island is one of the most authentic destinations in the Brazilian Amazon. It’s the largest river-and-sea island in the world, a place where nature, ancestry, and culture move together.
Marajó reveals an Amazon different from the dense forest: freshwater and saltwater beaches, flooded plains, preserved mangroves, and villages full of tradition. It’s marked by the island’s unhurried pace, by the energy of carimbó (the traditional Afro-Indigenous music and dance of Pará), by the presence of water buffalo, and by a regional cuisine known above all for its local cheese, along with knowledge passed down through generations.
Marajó Island is an encounter with the essence of the Amazon in its most genuine form, where local people are the protagonists who share the best of what the island has to offer.
Itineraries on Marajó Island bring together beach, culture, and nature, always at the island’s pace:
Long, quiet beaches where river and sea meet, framed by mangroves and native vegetation. Among the most sought-after are Barra Velha, Pesqueiro, Praia Grande de Salvaterra, Praia do Céu, and Caju-Una.
An immersion into the island's ancestral knowledge through Marajoara pottery, one of the most important cultural expressions of the Amazon, with its distinctive patterns and traditional techniques, alongside crafts and music.
Bold flavors of Amazonian cooking, with seafood, regional fish, and the traditional Marajó buffalo-milk cheese, rounded out by carimbó music and cultural gatherings.
The Jesuit Ruins of Joanes, in Salvaterra, one of the most fascinating historical sites on the island.
Poranduba organizes a range of itineraries for Marajó Island, from a one-day trip to a four-day immersion, all with a fast-boat crossing from Belém, internal transfers, and a guide throughout. Itineraries with overnight stays include accommodation in a guesthouse with breakfast.
The itineraries cover the essentials: the crossing over Marajó Bay, a city tour of Soure with its municipal market and pottery studios, and Barra Velha beach. Longer options add hands-on Marajoara pottery experiences, cultural evenings with carimbó, and more beaches such as Pesqueiro, Céu, Caju-Una, and Salvaterra, along with a visit to the Jesuit Ruins of Joanes. The longer the trip, the deeper the immersion in the island.
For those who want to expand the experience, there are also optional add-ons booked separately, such as a trip through the mangroves, a visit to a Marajó cheese farm, and a sunset aboard a trimaran on the Paracauari River.
