Humaitá, Residential district in South Zone Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The neighborhood extends between Corcovado Mountain and Rodrigo de Freitas Lagoon, covering 105 hectares with a population of 13,285 residents.
The district's name commemorates the 1868 Siege of Humaitá during the Paraguayan War, when Brazilian forces captured a strategic fortress.
The Cobal de Humaitá, a former tram shed transformed into a food market, now functions as a central gathering space with restaurants.
Multiple bus lines connect the district to northern Rio de Janeiro, with integrated transport links to the nearest metro station in Botafogo.
Traditional houses on Corcovado's slopes hold World Heritage status, preserving architectural elements from the district's early development period.
