Introduction

Take flight with this three-day jaunt into the heart of Macapá, Brazil. This trip will take you through the sandy beaches of Rio Amazonas to the vibrant local markets, and end with an enchanting escape to Parque Zoobotânico de Macapá. You will experience an unforgettable view of the Equator, diverse wildlife and indulge in local delicacies along the way whilst immersing yourself in the rich culture and traditions of Brazil.

Day 1 - Embrace the Equator

Kickstart your day with a visit to Marco Zero. A monument that marks the Equator and separates the northern and southern hemispheres. You can put one foot in each hemisphere - cool, right? A little further west, check out the Museu Sacaca , a really nifty outdoor museum featuring indigenous huts and artefacts. Here's a tip: Try using local ‘tuk-tuks’ to get around, they're a fun way to see the city! After a short break for a late lunch, head southeast to the Forte de São José de Macapá, which offers a spectacular panoramic view of the Amazon river. Let's finish the day off, shall we? What about a delicious seafood dinner at the nearby Fazendinha district? You can rest assured you will sleep soundly after such an invigorating start to the trip.

Day 2 - Ambiance of Amazonas

In the morning, take a short boat trip to the middle of the Amazon River for an astonishing sunrise. It's an early start, but trust me, it's like a painting come to life! Next up, we hit the Igarapé do Lago district where pedra pintada, a large rock bearing Indigenous engravings, is located. A little reflection never hurt anyone, right? Afterward, head back to the city for lunch before taking a stroll along the beautiful Praia do Araxá beach. Feel the cool breeze from the river Amazonas and watch out for the romantic sunset; it's a reminder of the beauty in simplicity. The day concludes with a visit to the bustling Macapá Shopping where you can shop for some unique souvenirs.

Day 3 - Wildlife and Waterfall Escapes

Heading towards the prime attraction of the city on our last day, the Parque Zoobotânico de Macapá, start the morning with an inspiring visit to see a variety of local and exotic wildlife. In the afternoon, get ready for a picturesque 2-hour drive to Cachoeira Grande - yes, a waterfall! Truly a hidden gem of Macapá - just don't forget to pack a picnic. After an adventurous and fun-filled day, head back to the city, grab dinner at Gardênia Bar e Restaurante - it's a top pick for its authentic local dishes. As they say, all good things come to an end but hey, you can always come back!
