POUSADA NOSSO CANTO ALTER

Forty steps of garden path separate Pousada Nosso Canto Alter's rooms from its outdoor pool, tucked in the Caranazal community on Rua Maranhão in Alter do Chão — a quiet base for travelers seeking the Tapajós beaches without the village center's foot traffic.

Rooms keep balconies or garden views, minibars, and streaming-enabled TVs, with sitting areas suited to longer stays. An outdoor dining area anchors breakfast and evening drinks from the on-site bar.

The famous river beach and dunes lie a short walk away, best reached before midday when the sand narrows with the tide.
