The ecological toilet emerges as an alternative to decentralized sanitation, and this article proposes to describe the experience of dry toilets as a sustainable alternative for communities in the interior of the Amazon. To develop this study, the Alter do Chão community was chosen as the research locus in the municipality of Santarém (PA). The selection of the interview subjects took place from the identification of points where there is construction of ecological bathrooms, in order to discuss the principles defended by the technologies implemented in its construction and what are the benefits and difficulties of this construction, pointing out its characteristics, advantages and disadvantages. Dry toilets have a user-friendly technological character and low operating and construction costs. Therefore, it is understood that this technique is the best sanitary solution to be built in these regions.
