Belém do Pará is a busy port and capital city of the Brazilian state of Pará. It is located close to the Amazon river's delta, becoming its main entrance gate. Sugar trade, cattle ranching, coffee and  rubber plantations caused the region importance to alternately rise and fell. Today, the main income is obtained from aluminum, iron and other minerals, nuts, pineapples and other tropical fruits as well as hardwoods.
Belém is not one of Brazil's World Cup cities and most inhabitants of Belém are happy about this.
