Located in Alter do Chão, a village belonging to the city of Santarém, at the bank of the Tapajós River, the rainforest hotel Vila de Alter Pousada Boutique Amazônia offers hospitality, comfort and individual service with a lot of charm.
The harmony with the forest and the relaxed style of its accommodation facilities translate our philosophy to provide the guests with a unique experience in Amazonia.
The rooms of Vila de Alter bear names of species of the regional flora. The Samaúma, known as tree of life, names the reception and the Camu-camu the bar-cafeteria and small boutique.
The architecture and the contemporary style of the bungalows create an atmosphere of wellness integrating into the green of the forest.
There are only six accommodation facilities differing in their ambiance, all of them equipped with queen size beds, air conditioning, ceiling fan, TV, minibar, walkie-talkie, bath amenities, shower with hot water, very fine bed linen and towels made of pure cotton. The exquisite breakfast is served until 11 a.m. at the verandas of the bungalows.
