The Amazon River is the longest river in South America and one of the longest in the world. Although the river primarily flows through Brazil, it also passes through Colombia and Peru.

The small Brazilian city of Santarém sits at the intersection of the Amazon River and the Rio Tapajós, the perfect place to watch the rivers flow into each other.

The beach near the Alter do Chao district, on the other hand, offers a place for tourists and locals alike to rest and relax.
