Parintins, Municipality on Tupinambarana island, Brazil
Parintins extends across 5,952 square kilometers of land in the eastern region of Amazonas state, situated along the banks of the Amazon River.
The settlement started in 1796 when José Pedro Cordovil established a cocoa farm on the island, which Queen Maria I of Portugal granted to him.
The Boi-Bumba festival in June features two competing teams, Garantido and Caprichoso, presenting performances about a resurrected ox through dance and music.
Visitors reach Parintins via ferry services from Manaus harbor or one-hour charter flights, with accommodations available in local hotels and floating vessels.
The municipality maintains color-specific advertising where Coca-Cola uses blue instead of red in certain areas to respect local festival team traditions.
