This settlement is located on the long strip of land that very much resembles a snake tail. This might be why it is called “Snake Village” in the local language.

Or maybe it’s because of the abundance of reptiles around? In addition to several fishing huts with thatched roofs, the village also has a church with a tall wooden cross in front of it to mark the gathering place for local celebrations and Catholic masses. The river is rather deep here, with tall palm trees growing along the banks. In the eastern part of the tributary, there is a remote islet with a wooden carved statue in the middle, that locals refer to as “Acanga”.

Most Brazilians are Catholics, but some people still practice shamanic cults in the midst of the rainforest. Entering such a place, try to be respectful and not disturb the local shamans and spirits! Peculiar carved stones, shrines, statuettes of gods and skulls of sacrificial animals clearly signify a place of religious worship. This lonely wooden dwelling looks long abandoned. Alternatively, its owners really don’t have time for refurbishing it. Given the stilts it might be a fishing hut: the locals probably keep their tackle here, or even use it as a fishing spot, to hunt for species who inhabit shallow waters overgrown with reed.Īfter exploring infinite jungles or rocky banks, how refreshing to see a beach with beautiful white sand! One can notice giant palm trees on the other side of the beach, which gave this place its name. Cozy summerhouses with palm leaf roofing are visible not far away from the shore. If you look at the water long enough, you might see a river dolphin or a small river cruiser. Take in a lungful of the thick humid air of the jungle and be ready for a fast-paced fishing adventure, because the fish is phenomenally feisty and large: Local anglers say deep waters and peculiar riverbed have made this part of the river a favourite spot for large catfish.
