Read the text below and get acquainted with one of the most important Brazilian capitals.

With its 19^th century architecture, Belém retains shades of the “Tropical Paris”

The capital of Pará received 640,000 visitors in 2015. Walking through the city, they would no doubt have stumbled across traces of its former rubber glory, like the Theatro da Paz, built in 1878.

It was built by rubber barons and used to receive operas and foreign theatre companies. It is still in use today, hosting Brazilian companies and an opera festival. The building is open to tourists, and entry costs R$6 (US $1.46).

By the waterfront in the old city, the Ver-o-Peso open-air market is unmissable. Visitors can see women making tacacá (manioc soup) and buy chestnuts, açaí, the medicinal herb jambu and many other local products.

If hunger strikes, stalls sell fish with açaí - a local delicacy. The fruit is served unsweetened, without the sugar that tends to be added in São Paulo and Rio.

A little further on is Mangal das Garças, a park opened in 2005. It is 40,000m² and entry is free. It has flamingos and wild lizards, as well as a butterfly house - a reminder, that in spite of its rubber belle époque, Belém remains at the heart of the Amazon.

If it can be lost on the streets of Tokyo, it can be found in the city’s lost-and-found center, where everything from diamond rings to dentures and millions of dollars in stray cash await their owners. “I’m not surprised anymore by what people lose”, says custodian Nobuo Hasuda as he walks along the paths between wheelchairs, snowshoes, motorcycle, helmets, and trumpets. Typical of a country obsessed with order and detail, every item is scrupulously labeled with time and place of recovery, then computer archived. (Texto adaptado. SASLOW; ASCHER, 2006, p.118)
