That depends where you’d like to go. Downtown Parintins, about 4 miles from Parintins Airport (PIN-Julio Belem), can be a little tricky to drive in. Make life easier by booking something small, fuel-efficient, and a cinch to handle. Having said that, Parintins is a good base to explore many of the wetlands in Amazonas. If your escape is more about cruising the wide-open roads, you may want a ride with more trunk space and room to move. What about an SUV or a full-size car?
