Brasiléia, Border municipality in Acre, Brazil
Located 237 kilometers south of Rio Branco, Brasiléia extends along the border with Bolivia, with the Xapuri and Acre rivers creating natural boundaries.
The municipality, established in 1910 under the name Brasilia, underwent a name change in 1943 to prevent confusion with the future federal capital.
The population of 26,702 residents includes 1,060 ribeirinhos who maintain traditional lifestyles along the riverbanks, preserving regional customs and knowledge.
The BR-317 highway connects Brasiléia to Rio Branco, replacing the historical river transport system that used cargo vessels for rubber and Brazilian nut trade.
The Chico Mendes Extractive Reserve occupies a portion of Brasiléia's territory, maintaining 931,537 hectares for sustainable resource management.
