Parintins

Parintins lies along the right bank of the Amazon on an island.  Since the river has created this area, it is the principal means of access.  You can expect to see boats of every size and variety.  They have the Boi-Bumba festival, at the end of June and is said to be second only to Carnival in Rio. 

There was lots of shopping available, but we weren't allowed to bring back anything made of wood, seeds or nuts.  That didn't allow for many souvenirs.
