Media

Altamira is an important destination in the 1979 movie Bye Bye Brasil; after several descriptions of its attractions ("precioous stnes lying on the ground") the traveling troupe visits the town. It is as far into the Amazon as the characters go, without even having gotten out of the coastal state of Pará, at the mouth of the Amazon. Altamira in the movie represents the front line of expanding "civilization" into the jungle; it resembles a gold rush town in the United States: too new to have any physical attractiveness, but there were plenty of whorehouses.
