Travel Guide São Domingos Do Capim

The only time anyone goes to this village of a few thousand souls is for the annual surfing championships held there. São Domingos is located at the confluence of the Rio Capim and the Rio Guamá, and the latter is subject to the tides (it flows into the wide estuary in front of Belém). During the full moon of the autumnal equinox, in March, the tidal bore reaches its highest level, and a series of respectable sized waves (the pororoca) rise up to it.Surfers from all over the country come to challenge themselves, and many curious people come to watch the show.Ask the agencies in Belém about a day trip
