Beautiful Amazon
The Belle Amazon is a traditional wooden Amazon riverboat that can accommodate up to 16 passengers, featuring a dining room, a covered veranda, and a sun deck overlooking the river.
Spanning approximately 33 meters in length, the boat features eight cabins, a wood-paneled dining room for all passengers, a covered veranda with a sofa, and an upper sun deck overlooking the Tapajós River. All cabins are air-conditioned and have private bathrooms.

The master cabin opens onto the river through panoramic windows; in the bunk-bed cabins, families and friends travel in comfort with a double bed and a single bed. Meals are prepared with fresh ingredients from the Pará region and served in the dining room or on deck.
The Belle Amazon is one of three boats used on Amazon River cruises around Alter do Chão, depending on the group size. Which boat is used depends on the number of registered passengers; the experiences on board are the same on all three.
Like all the boats in the fleet, the Belle Amazon is registered with the Brazilian Navy and operates with an experienced crew familiar with the area, as well as its own support boats for the excursions.
