A song that inspires a journey
“Voando pro Pará”, performed by Joelma, sparks curiosity about Belém’s places, flavors and customs. This independent itinerary brings those references together in a flexible two-day plan. It is not an official itinerary endorsed by the singer or a tour package.
Day 1 — Ver-o-Peso, the fort and açaí
Start at Ver-o-Peso to explore the market and discover local fruits and ingredients. Continue to Cidade Velha and visit Forte do Castelo, referred to as Forte do Presépio in the song. Plan a meal at Point do Açaí, another reference in the song: choose your branch and check opening hours before arranging transport.
Day 1 — Estação das Docas
Set aside another part of the day for Estação das Docas, also mentioned in the song. Enjoy the waterfront and views over Guajará Bay. Adjust the sequence to your restaurant’s location, the weather and your pace; there is no need to follow the order of the lyrics.
Day 2 — Mangal das Garças and local flavors
Plan a visit to Mangal das Garças. At another point, try tacacá at a traditional stall and look for pupunha palm fruit served with coffee, subject to availability. These flavors feature in the song. Check the park’s and vendors’ opening hours, and allow time for transport and rain.
Re-Pa: an experience that depends on the schedule
The song also refers to the football derby between Remo and Paysandu. Include this only when a match is scheduled: check official club or competition information and authorized ticket sales. Do not assume there will be a match during your visit.
Extra tips from Silvio
To explore further, consider Ver-o-Açaí, Amazônia na Cuia and Cairu’s Amazonian fruit ice creams. These are extra portal suggestions, not establishments mentioned in the song. The Pará Way page also shares the local tradition of tacacá stalls and taking regional foods home in insulated coolers.
