Property on the Ilha de Marajo Island recommended
Sunday, August 23, 2009
Ilha de Marajó or Ilha do Marajó, the island at the mouth of the Amazon and Tocantins Rivers is an alluring destination to travelers who go the extra step to delve deeper into the essence of a place. Property on the Ilha de Marajo Island has been recommended as an ideal place to stay when visiting the country, according to a British writer.
Rio de Janeiro-based British writer and marketing consultant Alison McGowan has stated that the Casarao Amazonia pousada features some exquisite touches of woodwork and ceramics associated with Brazilian property. She added that the facility, which could act as the ideal base for people looking to buy their own property in Brazil is "An impressive, totally refurbished, colonial house, painted a bright light blue, it stands out in a town of wide largely unasphalted avenues and simple one-story houses", adding that it was one of the top pousadas she had stayed in.
The Ilha de Marajo, which is washed by the waters of the Amazon, the Tapajós and the Atlantic, is considered the world’s largest fluvial-marine island, surpassing the areas of Belgium and the Netherlands. It has gorgeous beaches with calm waters, and a great variety of birds and fish. Only the island’s eastern shore is easily accessible to tourists, and has three small sleepy towns: Joanes and Salvaterra have the finest beaches while Soure has better restaurants and all the services.
A number of fazendas are open to visitors, and make for interesting though to some extent pricey day-trips. A good option is to lodge in one of the farms adapted to take in tourists. There, the visitors can ride Jeeps, boats or on horseback to visit bayous, swamps, pastures, and woods. Marajo's coast is deserted and wild, with plenty of beaches and small river inlets. There are six months of river water - the area's winter - when the muddy waters from the Amazon River invade the sea. And six months of salt water, due to the strength of the Atlantic, which penetrates the river.
