Description

The Trail of the Giants traverses part of the Islands Region of the municipality of Abaetetuba, located in the estuary of the Tocantins River. The Islands Region of Lower Tocantins is currently the largest producer of açaí in the world, but it once had a cycle of sugarcane and aguardente. It is a large Amazon rainforest area, with species characteristic of the river's floodplain and upland, reaching heights of 60m. The trail is located at Eco Sítio Paramajó and passes through preserved forest areas, featuring centenary species, where it is possible to observe rare species along the trail, including: açacú, anani, andiroba, angelim, buiuçu, cajuaçu, cerú, cinzeiro, jatobá, jutaí, matamatá, pará-pará, paricá, pitaíca, pracúuba, quaruba, samaumeira, seringueira, sucupira, tauari, ucuúba, etc., as well as a variety of palms: açaí, bacaba, inajá, jupati, miriti, mucajá, muru-muru, palheira, paxiúba, pupunha, tucumã, etc. The trail crosses several streams, alternating between floodplain and upland areas, showcasing the immense diversity of the Amazon rainforest. The Trail of the Giants also traverses an area of açaí groves, where it is possible to observe all the activities of harvesting, packaging, and transporting the açaí fruit.

Route

The Giants' Trail begins next to the headquarters of Eco Sítio Paramajó. To reach the site, visitors must travel 12 km by river to the end of the Paramajó River, on the left bank. The trail starts on solid ground, continuing for 500 meters before crossing two small streams (igarapés) via suspended bridges. Between the two bridges, there is a floodplain area where visitors can observe the differences between floodplain and upland forests, particularly the ucuúba tree and its distinctive lattice of support roots. After exiting the second bridge, the trail returns to upland terrain for 1.5 km, where beautiful species such as quaruba, paricá, and angelim can be observed. The path then re-enters the floodplain, where the largest specimens of ptacuúba and samaumeira are found. The trail approaches the Paramajó River again and crosses the açaí grove area, where it is possible to observe sustainable açaí cultivation. Finally, the trail loops back to the starting point, completing the circular route.
