A model of the Xingu and Belo Monte inside the Norte Energia building.
The cluster of labels left of center surrounds the main dam. The river below them, curving around near the edge of the model, is known as the Big Bend of the Xingu, and will be diverted (and thus reduced in flow) to fill the reservoir, which is the winding area in the middle of the model. Altamira is a little area marked by the white marker at the top left of the picture. Graphics which depict this more simply and clearly can be found by doing a google image search.
The Belo Monte impact assessment.
The orla, the boardwalk along the river. It says Altamira in big letters.
A bus paid for by CCBM.
