A tourist community, in the Tupi language “paripueira” means “calm waters”. Among the city's attractions are beautiful beaches with tide pools, such as the Praia de Sonho Verde (Green Dream Beach), which stands out for its beauty and for its infrastructure. In this ecological refuge can be found the Amazonian manatee, a threatened species unique to Latin America and protected here by the Municipal Marine Park for the Preservation of the Manatee.
