River, squares and culture in Peixe

The Rampa Ariolino Ribeiro Miranda, also known as Beira Rio, has a concrete ramp used for swimming and for getting out of river vessels. This gives the river two specific uses at this location: swimming and getting out of boats.

Praça Manoel Fernandes has a children's area and a communal area suited to walks with children and pets. Manuscritos da Gyza offers a different way to experience culture, with original manuscripts, texts, sayings and poems available there. This gives you a choice of distinct themes for your trip planning: an outdoor public space or literary content.

Several events take place at Praça Mestre Ananias Ponce Leones throughout the year. The most important is the CarnaPeixe Carnival. If you want to tie your trip to an event, take the relevant event dates into account when planning.

Crafts and local products

In the associated municipality, Ateliê Remanso Du Peixe sells local food products, including cookies, sweets and liqueurs. It is also a shop for handmade crafts. Its offerings bring together two specific themes for a visit: local food products and handcrafted items.

Additional themes in the wider destination of Peixe

In the wider destination of Peixe, Praia da Tartaruga offers another connection to the landscape. A 2023 description mentions clear water, 225,000 square meters of white sand and the beach as a place where turtles gather. During the 2025 beach season, it welcomed visitors from across the country; this information applies to that season.

Also in the wider destination of Peixe, Guilherme Santos leads sport-fishing expeditions on the Rio Tocantins. This is a different way to experience the river than swimming and using river vessels at the ramp in Peixe: here, sport fishing is the focus.

The cuisine of the wider destination of Peixe also draws on a range of influences. It combines Indigenous, Quilombola and Ribeirinha community influences, as well as migrant influences, with fresh ingredients from the Cerrado. Peixe na folha de bananeira consists of fresh fish wrapped in banana leaves, seasoned with local herbs and fruits, and cooked over embers. Arroz com pequi is cooked in a pequi broth.

The Festejo do Divino Espírito Santo traditionally includes a Missa dos Vaqueiros followed by a horseback procession through the city's main streets. Bolo do Divino is also traditionally served during the festival. Rivaldi, the festival's cake maker, prepares cakes and cookies during the celebrations and supplies these specialties throughout the year as well.
