Caju, Working-class neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Caju extends across the North Zone of Rio de Janeiro, featuring a mix of residential buildings and industrial facilities near the port area.
The district emerged from the former boundaries of São Cristóvão, evolving into a separate administrative region during Rio de Janeiro's urban development.
The neighborhood maintains strong connections to its working-class heritage through local festivals, community gatherings, and traditional Brazilian customs.
Located at coordinates -22.88 and -43.220556, Caju provides essential services to its 20,477 residents through municipal facilities and transportation links.
