Details About Belem
Destinations » South America » South American Coast » Belem
Known as the "city of the mango trees" because of the large number of those trees growing there, Belem's historic buildings reflect cultural traces of the seventeenth century. These buildings Include the City Market for meat and the Iron Market for fish. Around the markets and forming part of the same complex is the quayside Ver-o-Peso market, like a picture postcard where colours, smells and flavours are all mixed together into a scene that is varied and original.
Attractions
Sail inland to the mouth of the mighty Amazon for a sampling of what is hidden deep within the rain forest. Alligators, tapirs and anacondas are displayed at the zoo.
Shopping
Crafts (Marajo Indian pottery and Amazonian souvenir items) as well as local perfumes are among the best buys in Belem. Also popular is jewelry made from local quartz and other crystals. In addition to shops in the terminal building, more stores can be found along Avenida Presidente Vargas.
Currency
The Brazilian currency is the Real(hay-ahl), and Reais (hay-ice) for the plural. The symbol for the Real is R$.
