Novo Airão, Municipality on Rio Negro in Amazonas, Brazil.
Novo Airão extends across 37,771 square kilometers of land, encompassing sections of the Anavilhanas National Park and Jaú National Park at 45 meters elevation.
The settlement originated in 1668 when Brazilian Jesuits established Santo Elias de Jau at the mouth of the Jaú River as part of Portuguese expansion.
The indigenous Waimiri-Atroari, Crichanã, Carabinari, and Jauaperi peoples shaped the regional traditions through their deep connection with the Rio Negro waters.
The municipality sits 180 kilometers upstream from Manaus, with access available through regular boat services and road connections for travelers and residents.
The region contains substantial portions of the Rio Negro Environmental Protection Areas, supporting both left and right bank conservation initiatives established in 1995.
