The local experience
A wide beach with coconut palms, fried fish stalls and warm, yellowish water. It is the busiest and best-equipped beach on the island.
A water buffalo farm open to visitors, with cart rides, milking and tastings of cheese and sweets made on site. It shows how buffalo ranching became part of the island's identity.
A trail through native forest of bacuri trees that ends at a lake where flocks of scarlet ibises arrive in the late afternoon. Tours are guided by local residents.
Discover Mata do Bacurizal e Lago dos Guarás
The town's meeting point, with fresh fish, regional fruit, buffalo cheese and Marajoara pottery. A good place to buy directly from the producers.
Discover Mercado Municipal de Soure
A dark-water igarapé (forest creek) surrounded by mangroves, with hammocks and tables in the water. It is the most refreshing swim on the island, ideal in the middle of the day.
