Chalés Ponta de Pedras

Carved into the riverbank edge of Ponta de Pedras beach on the Tapajós River, these timber chalés sit directly above the water so balcony views take in the wide green bend where the Tapajós meets the Amazon basin. Alter do Chão's famous white-sand spit — the so-called "Caribbean of the Amazon" — lies within easy walking distance.

Each unit functions as a self-contained cottage: full kitchenette with stovetop, refrigerator, and kitchenware mean guests can cook market fish bought at the village square. Tile floors, a sitting area, and a private entrance give each chalé a bungalow feel rather than a hotel-room one.

The property arranges airport shuttles from Santarém, roughly 35km northeast, and the surrounding area supports hiking trails into cerrado-Amazon transition forest. A barbecue and garden round out the outdoor options for longer stays.
