Pousada Ecológica Ventania do Rio-Mar

  Social integration

Our philosophy: to build up a tourism that is ecological well-considered and above all, integrated. The pousada was constructed by local builders. 
Every tourist wants to buy a souvenir of the region so we created the opportunity for the locals to work on small sensibil projects. 
French, Dutch and Belgian families donated a small starting capital. Now 50 local women embroider hankies and napkins and the boys paint wooden objects with original indian Marajoara drawings found on the ancient pottery.

The state of Pará and Marajó are well known for their  folkloristic dances. In our village Joanes we started a youth group for dancers between the age of 10 and 20. They show us their musical richness.

  If you want to help out ... 

Of course you can help us out to make a financial contribution to found the ceramic workshop and to support the embroidery workshop.

And we still search Portugees books for the village youth library.
