Pousada Floresta do Tapajós

Pará


Better known as 'Pousada de Bata' for its austere but highly knowledgeable owner and main tour guide, this guesthouse has an airy hammock area, decent bathrooms and a welcoming family atmosphere. It's located in a quiet leafy plot about 500m past the main village center; if arriving by bus, ask the driver to drop you here.
