Itacoatiara, River port municipality in Amazonas, Brazil

Located on the northern bank of the Amazon River, Itacoatiara functions as a central transportation hub 176 kilometers east of Manaus by air.

In 1757, residents of Aldeia Abacaxi relocated to the current site of Itacoatiara, which received official recognition and was initially named Serpa.

The Cathedral of Nossa Senhora do Rosario stands as the primary religious center, serving the Roman Catholic population of the municipality.

The port manages cargo transportation through river steamers and hydroplanes, handling exports of rubber, Brazil nuts, hardwood, and fish products.

The name Itacoatiara translates from Tupi language to 'City of Painted Stone,' reflecting the area's connection to ancient petroglyphs.
