Description
We'll pick you up from your hotel in Barreirinhas and take you to the Preguiças River, where we'll board a speedboat and sail towards Tapuio.
Our first stop will be to learn about the artisan process of making manioc flour, which is widely used in Maranhão cuisine. This product and its production have become the main economic activity of this town.
