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.
