- Viewpoint
- Favor the classic coastal viewpoint looking across Guajará Bay toward Ver-o-Peso Market and Forte do Presépio, showing water ripples and wooden Amazonian riverboats in the foreground, the historic cast-iron market towers and cathedral in the middle-ground, and the vast green canopy of mango trees and Amazon horizon in the background.
- Palette
- Green should be the predominant color, especially in the colossal overarching canopies of mango trees, açaí palms in Mangal das Garças, and surrounding Amazon rainforest.
- Guarded against
- Avoid confusing Belém with Manaus (Belém has the massive Guajará Bay estuary, Ver-o-Peso market towers, Forte do Presépio, and arched mango tree avenues).
