Boca do Acre, Administrative microregion in southern Amazonas, Brazil.
Boca do Acre is a microregion in southern Amazonas containing two municipalities spread across rainforest terrain. Rivers cut through the landscape, which is almost entirely covered by dense forest.
The region was created as an administrative division to manage the vast rainforest territories of southern Amazonas. It developed over areas where indigenous peoples had lived and settled for centuries before modern boundaries were drawn.
Local communities rely on fishing, hunting, and gathering forest plants as part of their daily way of life. People here follow the seasonal patterns of the rivers and forests, which shape when and how they work.
Most travel happens by river routes, as land roads are limited and boats are the main transport. Visitors should expect longer travel times and dependence on weather conditions.
The area holds significant protected forest zones designed to conserve rainforest while allowing local people to harvest forest products sustainably. These reserves represent an effort to balance nature protection with the livelihoods of residents.
