Workation in Alter do Chão: the essentials
White sand in the middle of the Amazon is the reason people come to Alter do Chão, a district of Santarém on the right bank of the Tapajós, about 37 km from the city centre by road. From around August to December the river drops and exposes the Ilha do Amor sandbar in front of the village square; in the first half of the year the water rises into the flooded forest and boat trips replace river-beach days. The Sairé festival takes over in September. Power and water cuts happen and the heat never lets up. Santarém's Maestro Wilson Fonseca Airport is about 20 km away.
