Praça São Miguel in Augusto Corrêa brings together two distinct architectural landmarks: Igreja de São Miguel, an example of religious architecture, and Palacete Benedito Cardoso de Athaíde, a civil building dating from 1898. At the municipal level, protected coastal islands, nature destinations, and cultural events add to the attractions. When planning your trip, it is worth distinguishing between these scales: the buildings are associated with the town, while other nature and event destinations are within the municipality.

Historic architecture at Praça São Miguel

Igreja de São Miguel at Praça São Miguel is classified as religious architecture. Palacete Benedito Cardoso de Athaíde is also located in the same square. Built in 1898 in the colonial style as the Athaíde family home, it is a civil architectural building. Its original residential function makes this classification tangible; the church serves a different architectural purpose. Praça São Miguel itself is also an important historical and cultural attraction in the Bairro de São Miguel. The square therefore offers several points of interest for a cultural and historical focus in Augusto Corrêa.

The municipality’s waterfront and landscape

The Orla da cidade, the city waterfront, is also among the places worth visiting. At the municipal level, the APA da Costa de Urumajó includes protected coastal islands, among them Camará-Açu, Filipa, and Muruci. The APA is home to one of the largest Guará nesting sites in the state of Pará. Praia do Cupim is also within the protected area and is noted for its natural beauty. Other places worth visiting in the municipality include Prainha and Balneário do Anoirá. The options thus range from the urban waterfront to nature destinations within the municipality.

Prainha: Location and river access

Prainha is a nature destination in the municipality of Augusto Corrêa. It lies within the APA da Costa de Urumajó, near the community of Ponta do Urumajó and 9 km from the municipal seat. It can be reached by small boats along the Urumajó River. Both the distance and the specified mode of access are relevant when planning your visit. If you would like to visit Prainha, confirm boat availability in advance.

Cultural events and traditions

The Regata dos pescadores artesanais takes place in Perimirim in September. Local fishermen organize the event, which has been held for ten years. If you would like to plan your trip around the regatta, check the specific event dates in advance. The Feira da Cultura features cultural performances, Quadrilha competitions, and a Xote competition. In the municipality, the Festa de São Miguel Arcanjo is the patron saint festival. The Marujada de São Benedito is considered the strongest cultural and religious expression there. These events and traditions complement the buildings at Praça São Miguel with other cultural themes at the municipal level.

Choose a focus for your accommodation search

If Prainha is part of your plans, take the small-boat access via the Urumajó into account when planning your trip.
