Enter the Green Lake along with your Santarem tour guide, which consists of 6 water sources and you will visit 4 of them.
After visiting those sources, visit the Enchanted Forest. The tour is a canoe trip that slowly navigates the maze formed by the partly submerged vegetation over the waters, the phenomenon happens with the flooding of the rivers of the region and the increasing volume of the waters of the streams that flow into Green Lake, resulting in this accumulation of water that allows us to navigate over a flooded forest. Silence and peace reign in this contact with nature, the calm waters reflect the treetops and the sky seems like a mirror.
As the tour enters the forest, the diversity of fauna and flora enchant more and more. It is possible to identify species of orchids in the submerged tree trunks and palm trees, typical of all flooded regions. The canoe tour lasts for about 30 to 45 minutes.
Continue your tour by the lake contemplating different species of birds and looking for monkeys in the trees and dolphins in the river.

According to the English newspaper The Guardian, welcome to the most beautiful freshwater beach in the world.
Those water sources form a beautiful Amazonian ecosystem called "igapó". From Old Tupi (Indian language), Igapó means "root forest", a word used in Brazil for black water-flooded forests in the Amazon biome.
These forests and similar swamp forests are seasonally inundated with freshwater, and they typically occur along the lower reaches of river sand around freshwater lakes. The plant species found here are adapted to wetlands. Its smaller plants are hydrophilic (adapted to flooded regions), having, as common species, the royal lily, orchids, bromeliads and others.
The tour will be done in speedboats.
