Description

Map of Tapajos Communities

The community of Jamaraquá is located about 2 hours by car (longer by bus) from the city ofSantarém , where the nearest airport is located. It is located in the Tapajós National Forest (FLONA Tapajós) in the Brazilian Amazon. The community of Maguary is it's neighbor to the north.

Jamaraquá is along the beautiful Tapajós river and is surrounded by natural beauty everywhere. There's a lagoon nearby that's great for canoing, a great beach in nearby Maguary (5 minuites walk), and of course the National Forest in it's backyard (literally) . The families that live there are kind and friendly and interested in sharing with visitors.

For more information about Jamaraquá and the other communities where we work, please visit Rio Tapajós Communities.
