Marajó

Marajó Essentials

This collection highlights the cultural and natural landmarks of the world's largest fluvial-maritime island. It features the 17th-century Jesuit ruins at Joanes, the traditional Carimbó drumming of Tambores do Pacoval, and the unique stilt-house architecture of Afuá. Visitors can explore Marajoara ceramic history at Museu do Marajó, visit the mangrove-lined shores of Praia Barra Velha, and see the water buffalo that roam the island’s vast ranches and urban streets.
