Fetch your suitcase, exit Belem Airport (BEL-Val de Cans Intl.), and collect your rental car. Which one you hop into depends on where you’re venturing. If you’ll be spending a good deal of time driving in downtown Belem, around 5 miles from the terminal, select something zippy. A compact car that’s easy to handle will be ideal for navigating those bustling city streets. But with so many things to see, like the gorgeous sandy shores of the surrounding area, you’ll probably be racking up a few miles. A larger vehicle, like a full-size car or an SUV, will make lengthier road trips more comfortable.
