Boca do Valeria Brazil Cruise Port
Location:

As cruise ships are not able to dock here you will be tendered ashore.

Be sure to bring you camera on the tender because you are on the spot where the waters of the Valeria River meet the Amazon. It is incredible how the two rivers remain separate for miles before finally blending together.

Ship's Location in Cruise Port:
Sightseeing:

A remote little Indian community, set at the entrance of the Valeria river on a 400ft hill and overlooking the Amazon River. It is located between Parintins and Santarem. Calls allow you to explore the jungle in quest of monkeys, butterflies and the colorful bird life, - and to buy wooden carvings and gourd masks, and see something of the, simple traditional lifestyle of the villagers.
