Pau do Presidente, Historical monument at Transamazonian Highway km 4, Altamira, Brazil
The monument consists of three masts reaching 10 meters high, constructed from the trunk of a Brazil nut tree near the Trans-Amazonian Highway.
President Emilio Garrastazu Medici unveiled this monument on September 27, 1972, marking the completion of the first section of the Trans-Amazonian Highway.
The three masts of the monument represent the three powers of the Brazilian Republic, reflecting the governmental structure during the military administration period.
