Museu Histórico Municipal
'Have animal, will stuff' seems to be the motto at Guajará-Mirim's Museu Histórico Municipal. Monkeys, falcons, and anteaters are among the slew of birds and mammals stuffed (none too recently, it seems) and posed in a tree in the museum's foyer. Inside the main room, a stuffed anaconda is stretched the length of the main salon, while another is wrapped around a crocodile, also stuffed. A few other oddities, like conjoined-twin piglets preserved in formaldehyde, complete the bizarre natural history collection.

Pakaas Palafitas Lodge - Day Trip
A visit to the upscale eco-hotel Pakaas Palafitas Lodge is an agreeable way to spend the day. You can walk along the 2.5km of raised scenic trails, and book a canoe tour through nearby channels and flooded forest. Or just relax beside the beautiful pool, which overlooks a 'meeting of the waters,' like the larger and more famous one near Manaus, and enjoy a fine buffet lunch. A taxi to the lodge from town costs around R$50 .
