Hostel Pousada do Tapajós
Dorms and private rooms one minute from Cajueiro Beach
Santarém
About this stay
Hostel Pousada do Tapajós runs both formats at once, spartan dorms for solo budget travelers and private rooms for couples or families, all a single minute's walk from Cajueiro Beach on the Tapajós river. The shared kitchen and BBQ setup encourage the kind of communal evenings typical of a well-run hostel, while the pousada side of the property keeps things homely rather than institutional in feel. Free breakfast, Wi-Fi, parking and air conditioning round out the basics, and the pet-friendly, kid-friendly ratings widen who it suits considerably. Restaurante Al Toque Amazônico is a one-minute walk for meals outside the BBQ nights, and the 40-minute airport transfer is the cost of being this close to the beach itself, a trade most guests here make without a second thought.

Our take
Travelers who want beach access above almost anything else, whether in a dorm bed or a private room, should book Hostel Pousada do Tapajós first among the Alter do Chão-area budget stays available. Anyone needing a short airport run should weigh the 40-minute transfer carefully against the one-minute walk to Cajueiro Beach before deciding.
- ✓Join a BBQ night if one is happening, since the shared kitchen setup here leans communal by design.
- ✓Choose a private room over a dorm if traveling as a couple, since both are available at this hostel-pousada.
- ✓Walk to Cajueiro Beach first thing in the morning, before the day's heat sets in around Alter do Chão.
