Pousada São Domingo

Pará


Less a guesthouse than just a guy who lets people crash at his place, there's an open-air hammock area and outdoor showers set in a large shady plot. Guests can use the owner's bathroom. The owner used to work for tour operators in Alter do Chão, and guides hiking and boat tours right from his property.
