Grab your suitcase, stroll out of Santarem Airport (STM-Eduardo Gomes), and pick up your rental car. Which one you motor off in depends on where you’re going. If you’ll be primarily driving in downtown Santarem, around 16 miles from the terminal, you’ll want something zippy and small. A compact car with good handling will be perfect for navigating those busy city streets. But with so many things to see, like the beautiful sandy shores of the region, you may want to make a few pit stops. A larger vehicle, like a full-size car or an SUV, will make lengthier road trips more comfortable.
