Nhamundá

Nhamundá is a municipality in eastern Amazonas state situated along the Nhamundá River in the heart of the Amazon region. The territory consists largely of forest with a sparse population distributed across small communities connected by waterways.

The territory was officially established as an independent municipality in 1956 when it separated from a larger administrative area. This creation was part of broader administrative reorganization efforts in Amazonas during that period.

The municipal administration implements local governance structures that reflect Brazilian patterns of resource distribution and community management.

Getting there requires boat travel since the municipality is accessible mainly by river due to limited road infrastructure. Plan for longer journeys and consider seasonal water levels, as these affect how easily you can navigate the waterways.

The municipality maintains direct borders with Pará state, positioned at coordinates 2°11′09″S latitude and 56°42′46″W longitude.
