Soure
The 100,000 inhabitants of the island are distributed over seven communes, the largest of which is Soure (pop. 20,000). The town, in Marajó Bay, has several beaches on the river - Araruna (2km/1.3mi from the town), Pesqueiro (13km/8mi), Caju Una (15km/9.3mi). Small carts drawn by buffaloes are characteristic features of the town and of the island as a whole. There are hotels and fazendas with accommodation for visitors, which also run trips for visitors in the surrounding area. The carimbó and the lundú are two native dances which all visitors should try to see.
