Belterra

Belterra is an administrative division in the state of Pará located in the Amazon region of Brazil. It sits near the Tapajós National Forest surrounded by dense rainforest vegetation.

The region was established as a rubber plantation in the 1930s and later underwent significant economic changes. Structures and practices from this era still shape the local landscape today.

The municipality maintains strong connections to its rubber-tapping heritage through preserved plantation structures and local agricultural practices passed down through generations.

The area experiences a tropical climate with heavy rainfall during certain seasons, something visitors should plan for when traveling here. Waterways serve as important transport routes in this nature-dominated region.

The soil here contains terra preta, a black earth with exceptional natural fertility. This special soil type enabled agricultural activities to thrive across many generations.
