We had a fantastic day out exploring Belterra with Paulo and Bruno by bike. Belterra, near Santarem, was founded as a rubber plantation, after the economic failure of Fordlândia, which had been founded in 1928 by Henry Ford to produce rubber in Brazil and ship it to USA. Lots of traces of the past, including a siren that is still sounded at 1130am daily which used to indicate shift changes and for the women to go back to get lunch ready! Then we ate breakfast at a meliponary. Melipona bees are a variety that is vital to the ecosystem. Since ancient times, the honey produced by this type of bee was considered sacred since it also provides healing values. The woman running it is creating an entire ecosystem with many different species. And finally we spotted a coati and an anaconda. Cycled 30km in 31C. Yes it was hot! Wonderful to get out of the city and experience rural life and environment with great guides who looked after us very well. Highly recommended!

We came from Amsterdam to spend 1 week in Alter do chão and we book this amazing tours with Muriki! The tours and hospitality was unbelievable, we had such a nice time and experiences that we will always remember! The bike tours were amazing, the perfect balance between adventures and joyful, and Muriki gave us all the support we needed. We will definitely come back!

We are a group of 4 adults that did 2 full day bike tours with Muriki Cicloturismo. The first tour started in Santarem, Brazil and our second day we started in Alter do Chao, Brazil. Paulo and our English translator were amazing! We arrived by cruise ship at both locations and both days they were waiting for us at the ports ready to go! The bikes were in excellent condition and Paulo and his crew took great care of us. Both days were filled with fun adventure and excellent knowledgeable information. And they were very responsible about getting us back to the cruise port with time to spare! If you are looking for an active adventure during your time in port, instead of the bus tour being offered on the ship, please book a tour with Muriki Cicloturismo!!!
