Visit Pará
For tourists visiting Para, one must-see destination is Lencois Maranhenses National Park - an area consisting of sand dunes and crystal-clear lagoons in unique formations - perfect for a day of exploration and adventure. Another popular spot for visitors is Marajo Island - home to one of Brazil's largest wetlands and more than 400 species of birds that can be spotted during a boat tour around its many creeks and channels.
An interesting historical fact about Para dates back to 1616 when Portugal established a trading post there called Feliz Lusitania (Happy Lusitania). Later renamed Belem after a biblical reference ("Bethlehem"), it was once the main port from which African slaves were sent throughout South America.
