Pará, in northern Brazil, is an Amazonian giant with Belém as its muggy capital, a gateway to rainforests and the Pará River’s bounty. Known for açaí, rubber, and Brazil nuts, its economy mixes logging, mining, and agribusiness, shadowed by deforestation. Its Marajo Island and fish stews like tacacá spice its culture. Pará’s wild, wet soul breathes deep.
