Lace up those sneakers and go for a run in the most unexpected of urban jungles, the Bosque Rodrigues Alves. It's like a slice of the Amazon decided to move to the city for an edgy lifestyle makeover. Sprint past towering trees, dodge monkeys with more agility than a street performer, and outpace the tortoises in a race they're pretty chill about losing.
Ever tried to hug a tree in a mangrove forest? It's like trying to cuddle a wet noodle, but way more fun. Embark on the Mangrove Meander, a can't-miss ecotour where you get down and muddy with nature. Cruise through on a kayak and marvel at this spectacular ecosystem where the water's so rich, it could start its own bank!
Be an island-hopping hotshot and explore Belem's river-island scene. It's a choose-your-own-adventure, waterborne style! From sunbathing on secluded beaches to trading smiles with the local ribeirinhos (river folk), you'll collect stories like seashells. Each island boasts its own vibe, so crank up that wanderlust and set sail!
Chuck on your sunnies and Stand-Up Paddleboard (SUP) beneath the bridges of Belém. While paddling, bask in the cool river breeze and wave at the boats chugging by as you get that sneaky core workout without even noticing. Just you, the board, and the big ol' bayou!
