The entry into the Amazon began in Roraima, followed by passage through Amazonas and Santarém, in Pará. According to the couple, the most difficult stretch was between the crossing of the Paru River and Monte Dourado, in Pará. This path is part of the land route that connects Macapá to Santarém. Driving the motorhome, Valmir Nilto, 55 years old, faced some difficulties. "Some sections had a lot of mud and sand, in addition to being isolated. As our car is not a 4x4, there was a risk of getting stuck. But everything worked out and we continued with the help of an off-road trail app", he reports. On BR-156, another challenge. The stretch between Laranjal do Jari and Macapá was full of holes and required extra attention. According to Rosilene, despite the difficulties, arriving in Amapá marked the realization of a dream. "Amapá was also a dream. We knew it would be difficult to get there, but that it would be worth it. We are very happy. People have been receptive, we are loving it and receiving many recommendations for places and food", says Rosilene. During their stay, the couple intends to visit tourist attractions, taste typical dishes and share the experience on social media. The idea is to encourage other travelers to get to know Amapá, especially those who travel by motorhome and give up because of the cost of the ferries. "We want to show the beauties of Amapá so that other people come. Due to the logistical difficulties, many people miss out on the state." See photos See the latest news from g1 Amapá
