Not long ago, we were telling you about what is set to become Europe’s, if not the world’s, largest walking loop in Portugal. Now, it’s Brazil’s turn to launch what is officially the longest marked trail in Latin America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The trail, officially named the Trilha Amaz\u00f4nia Atl\u00e2ntica<\/strong>, was unveiled a few weeks ago to coincide with Bel\u00e9m\u2019s COP30 climate summit. This “Amazonia Atlantic Trail,” as its name translates, is a lengthy, marked walking route located in the state of Par\u00e1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Stretching for a total of 468 kilometres<\/strong>, the route begins in the historic centre of Bel\u00e9m and crosses 17 municipalities before reaching the Serra do Piria, on the border with the neighbouring state of Maranh\u00e3o.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rather unique in Brazil, and indeed across the continent, this trail stands out for linking the landscapes, forests, and rivers of the Amazon with the Atlantic coastline’s distinctive mangroves and beaches. Furthermore, it offers a chance to discover the local flora and fauna, as well as to meet communities with rich, enduring cultures and traditions, such as the Quilombolas<\/strong>\u2014communities formed by the descendants of escaped African slaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Registered with Brazil’s “National Long-Distance Trails Network,” the Trilha Amaz\u00f4nia Atl\u00e2ntica<\/em> is now considered the longest marked route on the South American continent. The authorities estimate that over 10,000 people<\/strong> could take on the trail, either on foot or by bicycle, as early as next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This marks a promising start for a project aiming to promote sustainable tourism and ecotourism while celebrating biodiversity and local cultures, in a Brazil that, admittedly, still has some progress to make on this front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n > Infos : trilhaamazoniaatlantica.com.br<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Not long ago, we were telling you about what is set to become Europe’s, if not the world’s, largest walking loop in Portugal.
