Just a few minutes by boat from Belém, the capital of Pará, the Combú Route flourishes as a haven of nature, culture, and flavor in the heart of the Amazon Rainforest. Located on Combú Island, just one river away from the city, this route reveals another time and another rhythm: that of the waters that drive riverside life. Here, the rivers are not barriers, they are paths. And navigating them is the only way to arrive, connect and be enchanted.
The Combú Route is an immersive sensory experience that intertwines ecotourism, community-based tourism, Amazonian culture, and riverside gastronomy. Created and led by local entrepreneurs, sons, and daughters of the island, the Route celebrates the role of communities in the conservation of their territory and in the construction of tourism that respects, values, and shares ancestral knowledge.
More than a tour, the Combú Route is a journey. An emotional dive into the living Amazon, with itineraries that suit different profiles and travel times: half a day, a full day, or even two days of experiences. Each stop is an invitation to discover: smell the cocoa in the agroforestry yard, prepare a scent bath with medicinal plants, harvest the native açaí, learn about the process of creating bio-jewelry, or experiment with affective cuisine.
It’s an experience designed for travelers, both Brazilian and foreign, who seek authenticity, want to reconnect with nature, and be enchanted by the local culture. For those who value sustainable, conscious, and transformative tourism.
Incorporating the Combú Route into your schedule in Belém means going beyond the urban: it means crossing the river and entering the forest in a safe, guided, and profound way. It’s experiencing a pulsating territory, where every trail, flavor, and story reveals care for the Amazon and pride in belonging to it. It’s personalizing your journey with those who make welcoming a value and sustainability a commitment.
