Discover Belém — the 400-year-old gateway to the Amazon — through its blend of colonial history, vibrant culture, and living sustainability.
Created especially for COP-30 visitors and conscious travelers, this guided walking tour supports certified local guides and small-scale market vendors, ensuring that tourism generates fair income for the community.

Starting at 09:00 at the Belém Cathedral, meet your English-speaking certified guide and explore the city’s most emblematic sites. Visit the Forte do Presépio, the 17th-century fortress where Belém was founded, and enjoy panoramic views over the Guajará Bay.

Next, dive into local life at the Açaí Market, where riverboats from nearby islands arrive daily with baskets of freshly harvested açaí berries — a vivid demonstration of the region’s sustainable bioeconomy and traditional river trade.
 

The walk continues to the Ver-o-Peso Market, one of South America’s oldest and most atmospheric marketplaces. Surrounded by the scent of herbs, fruits, and exotic spices, you’ll discover how gastronomy and biodiversity intertwine here.
Enjoy tastings of local fruits and specialties while supporting vendors who have kept Amazonian traditions alive for generations.

This 3-hour tour offers an authentic look at Belém’s past, present, and sustainable future, combining culture and conscience — a perfect introduction to the Amazon’s human and ecological richness during the COP-30 period.
