Borba, Municipality in northern Amazonas, Brazil
Borba is a municipality in northern Amazonas that sits along the Madeira River in Brazil's rainforest region. The town occupies a large territory surrounded by dense forest and river systems.
The settlement began in 1728 when Jesuit missionaries arrived and established a mission in the area. This early foundation made it one of the first towns to develop in the region.
The people of Borba live close to the river and forest, relying on fishing and farming to support themselves. These daily activities shape how the community uses the land and relates to nature.
The town has an airport for visitors arriving or departing the area. Basic services like shops, accommodation, and medical facilities are available in town.
Much of the municipality falls within protected nature reserves and national parks. This arrangement means conservation efforts and human settlement coexist in the same space.
