Destinations - Belém

Description 

Belém is the economic center of the northern region and capital of the mineral rich state of Pará. One of the rainiest cities in the world, it has a "less wet"season from July to December. But this not as bad as it sounds. Rain often comes and goes quickly and is a brief respite from the equatorial heat. Belém is 120km from the Atlantic ocean and it has the biggest port on the Amazon river. From Belém, you set sail for any place that is navigable on the Amazon and its tributaries. At the Ver O Peso market and port, there is not much for a tourist to buy . Yet , the display of fruit, vegetables, plants, animals and fish, not to mention the people, is fascinating. The most intriguing section is filled with medicinal herbs and roots, dead snakes and amulets for every possible occasion. There are interesting museums, and a zoo with manatees, jungle cats, alligators, snakes, monkeys and many amazonian birds.
