Itaguaí, Port city in Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil
The city spans across 273 square kilometers between Sepetiba Bay and the Atlantic Rainforest, featuring multiple iron ore loading terminals and ports.
Established in 1688, Itaguaí developed from a small settlement into a major industrial center with the construction of deep-water ports in 1982.
The Diocese of Itaguaí maintains religious traditions through local churches while the city preserves Brazilian coastal cultural elements through festivals.
Located 75 kilometers west of Rio de Janeiro, Itaguaí connects to neighboring cities through well-maintained roads and serves as a residential area for industrial workers.
The Port of Guaíba Island operates with a specialized railway bridge that transports iron ore directly from mainland mines to ocean-going vessels.
