Travel and transport agencies Salvaterra

The Henvil Tranportes company connects the "mainland" with the island of Marajo, the largest river island in the world, as big as Switzerland and known for its herds of water buffalo that roam freely. The ferry company runs from Icoaraci (a district of Belém) to the port of Camará in the municipality of Salvaterra. However, to get to the city, you will have to take a bus or a van, as the pier is far from the heart of the village. You can also take a bus to Soure, one of the other small towns of the island.

There are various ferry services linking Belém to different destinations on the island of Marajo. The Banav ferry company links Belèm to Camarà every day. Ferries depart from the Belèm waterway terminal.

departures are either morning or afternoon, depending on the tide (Sundays are rare). Check timetables in advance.

Departure from Belèm to Camarà is currently at 2pm (subject to change). The ferry from Camarà to Belèm departs at 2:30pm.

The journey takes about 2 hours and costs R$ 35.
