Cruise 2019
Our last stop on the Amazon and in Brazil, Alter do Chao is mainly a beach resort on the Rio Tapajos, a tributary of the Amazon. It primarily serves the residents of nearby Santarem (where we stopped a few days ago) and the odd cruise ship. It only has one resort and several small hotels, since most of the visitors are day-trippers. Lots of bars and handicraft stands. Many beaches with beautiful fine sand. Some of the beaches were partially submerged since this is still the rainy season. After 5 consecutive days on the hot and humid Amazon, we look forward to 3 sea days as we head back to Fort Lauderdale with two stops in the Caribbean.
