Cruzer Two Posted December 26, 2014 Author #332 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Located at the confluence of the Amazon and Topojos rivers, Santarem is a popular stop for regional boats traveling between Belem and Manaus, Brazil. Once home to the Tapojos Indians it was a large agricultural chiefdom before the arrival of the Europeans. The meeting of the Amazon and Tapojos Rivers is known as the "Meeting of the Waters". The rivers run side by side for three miles without mixing due to the difference in temperature, speed and densidty. Located near Santarem is the resort town of Alter do Chao that is home to the beautiful white-sand island known as Ilha do Amor - Island of Love.This video shows the highlights of our visit to Santarem and Alter do Chao.
