Alter de Bike - My experience with Muriki was simply wonderful! From the first contact, everything was organized with affection, attention to detail and deep respect for the culture and nature of the region. The tours were amazing — and I highlight with great enthusiasm the two bike roles, which were undoubtedly the highlights of my trip! Pedaling trails, knowing Belterra and feeling the immersion with the locals was transformative. Every moment was well thought out, the guides are prepared, careful and passionate about what they do. I felt safe, welcomed and inspired. I come home with my heart filled with gratitude — and already willing to come back. Thank you, Muriki, for making this trip an unforgettable memory.

Pedal with sounds and smells of the forest - Words would be needed to describe how sensational this experience was, a dream fulfilled. If you like cycling in the wild, I would say that this ride is mandatory. It was three intense days, a total of 155 km, I did 1- Aramanaí & Pindobal, 2- Ponta de Pedras and 3- Belterra. Muriki staff is highly professional, always very attentive and careful with safety. Special thanks to Kayson (Japan) for the partnership in the first two days and Paulão, for the pedal on day 3, with the right to history class in Belterra.

Muriki Pindobal-Aramanai Cycling Tour - I made a bike ride between the Pindobal and Aramanai with Muriki and it was a very good experience, despite living in the region for years I had never made a tour like this one. The route is good passing by trails in the middle of the forest and the beachfront with a spectacular view of the River Tapajós in addition to finishing with beach bathing options and igarapé. Well organized, with hydration, safety equipment provided (besides the bike itself) and technical support. I recommend it to everyone who loves cycling, nature and the open air. I will definitely make more walks.

Rewarded - The good impression already started before the tour itself with the pre-trip conversations. Care with the choice of bike, size of shirts, etc. Then the satisfaction only increased with details such as punctuality and cordiality! Japa, Marcão and Paulão are out of series!! Finally the scripts chosen by Muriki are fantastic. Riverside walks, baths in crystal-shaped igarapés and the fantastic opportunity to cycle in the Amazon forest. Impermeable! Parabéns MURIKI. Long live this splendid company.

Biking on beaches, Clay roads , and the Amazon from Santarém Cruise Port - we did this from the cruise ship. Three of us. Lovely Brazilian local Tour guides Jappa (Portuguese) and Bruno, driver Marcus (not shown) .Owner Paulo greeted us at Port (not shown) but did not join. A huge 4 hour outing- round trip to Ponte de Padres - all on beaches, sand and clay roads , bush and forest. Swam in small lake called Negro near Tapari beach . Very professional outfit.

Alter without pedaling with Muriki is not Alter! - Sensational! Best experience I had in Alter do Chão! It's already on my list for when I return. In addition to the peaceful route, you can count on the company of Paulo, who was very helpful and wonderful throughout the entire journey. Score a thousand!
