A little about the city
Peixe-Boi is a municipality located in the state of Pará, Brazil. It lies in the northeastern region of the state, near the Pará River, and is part of the Bragantina microregion. Although small in terms of population and territory, Peixe-Boi has an economy based mainly on family farming, especially the cultivation of cassava, corn, and beans, as well as cattle and water buffalo ranching. Fishing is also an important activity in the region, due to its proximity to the Pará River and its waters rich in biodiversity. Besides its economic activities, Peixe-Boi stands out for its natural beauty, with landscapes of rivers, igarapés (narrow Amazonian waterways), and Amazon rainforest. The region is also home to riverside communities that preserve cultural traditions and handicrafts typical of the Amazon region. Although it is a small town and often unknown to tourists, Peixe-Boi offers an authentic experience of life in the Amazon, with opportunities to explore nature, interact with local communities, and get to know Amazonian culture up close.
