When choosing Soure, you can plan your stay around several specific interests: Marajoara ceramics and other handicrafts, church and monument history, shopping and tapioca at the Mercado Municipal, and the dual use of Enseada do Tombo do Jutaí as a swimming spot and anchorage. To help plan your trip, start by choosing between handicrafts, architectural history, the market and the waterfront; this will determine which of the town’s features you focus on.

Ceramics and Handicrafts

Marajoara ceramics and wooden sculptures are made and sold at Ateliê Arte Mangue Marajó. Visitors can also take part in a workshop on making Marajoara ceramics. The studio therefore combines sales with a hands-on activity. If you want to include the workshop in your plans, ask in advance about a suitable time.

Mbarayó Cerâmica offers Indigenous Marajoara and Aruã ceramics. SOMA – Sociedade Marajoara das Artes has a wider range of goods: handicrafts made from leather, seeds, embroidery and roots, as well as perfumes, musical instruments, seed jewelry and shoes. The offerings range from a workshop and ceramics to different types of crafts and goods. Choose according to whether you are especially interested in a hands-on activity, particular ceramic traditions or a variety of materials.

Churches and Remembrance

Igreja de Nossa Senhora de Nazaré, also known as the Matriz, stands in the heart of Soure and dates from the 19th century. Capela de São Sebastião was built in May 1988, while two small towers and a simple façade define the architecture of Capela de São José. These details give the two chapels distinct architectural features.

Cruzeiro is a monument commemorating the 25th anniversary of the Augustinian fathers’ work in Soure. These sites offer different ways to explore the area’s cultural history: the construction dates of the Matriz and Capela de São Sebastião, the architectural design of São José, and Cruzeiro’s commemorative purpose. If you are interested in the town’s history and buildings, comparing them can help you decide what to focus on.

Market, Waterfront and Getting There

At the Mercado Municipal, you can buy meat, fish, crabs and regional products. Coffee and tapioca are also available: the tapioca is spread with butter or topped with Marajó cheese. This makes it easy to choose between shopping for regional goods and having coffee and tapioca—or to do both. If you are planning a market visit, check the opening hours in advance.

Enseada do Tombo do Jutaí serves both as a swimming spot and as an anchorage for small fishing boats. This dual purpose may be a deciding factor if you want to include a place to swim in your travel plans alongside cultural sites and the market. The Reserva Extrativista Marinha de Soure, a federally designated marine and coastal protected area, is also located within the municipality. This gives you another way to consider Soure in the context of its municipality.

Porto Camará is relevant for getting there: minibus and regular bus services operated between Porto Camará and Soure. Before departing, check the current services and schedules.
