Soure

Soure is a municipality on Marajó Island at the Amazon River mouth in northern Brazil. It spreads across a large coastal area with extensive mangrove forests along river systems.

Soure was established as a municipality in 1847, marking the beginning of organized governance in this part of Pará. This founding opened the way for formal settlement and administration in this remote Amazon region.

The town is known for producing skilled martial artists who have achieved success on the world stage, reflecting the strength and resilience of its people. This connection to professional combat sports shapes how residents view their community.

The area has a marine protected zone with coastal mangroves where visitors can observe local ecology. The best time to visit is during drier months when access is easier.

The region experiences a tropical monsoon climate that brings intense rainy seasons followed by drier periods. These extreme water patterns shape the landscape and wildlife in distinctive ways.
