Santarem
The city of Santarem (pop 300,000) is where I landed from Manaus to meet Gil, who lives in nearby Alter do Chao. Cargill has a huge plant here and soy fields are eating away at the pristine jungle nearby. The best part of Santarem is the boardwalk, perfect for a morning jog or evening socializing.
