| A charming gold-rush town in Brazil, Itaituba (ITB) is your starting point for exciting river cruise tours. At first glance, Itaituba might appear uninviting, but exploring the town opens up a world of unique experiences. The most interesting aspect is perhaps the overwhelming presence of gold-buying shops that dominate the commercial spots in town. Take a peek inside the shops to see the miners bringing in gold dust and fragments which are burned, weighed and purchased. On request, most miners will agree to show off their gold.
