Juruti, Municipality in western Pará, Brazil
The municipality stretches across 8,303 square kilometers along the Amazon River, featuring dense rainforest areas and numerous waterways throughout the territory.
The region transformed from a small settlement into an industrial center after the discovery of extensive bauxite deposits, leading to large-scale mining operations.
Indigenous traditions remain central to local festivities, with the annual São Paulo celebration bringing together residents for traditional food and regional dances.
Travelers can reach Juruti through the local airport, river transportation on the Amazon, or by road networks connecting to neighboring municipalities.
The local mining operations extract over 5.5 million tons of bauxite annually, making this municipality a major contributor to Brazil's aluminum industry.
