Açailândia

The municipality features a tropical climate at 240 meters elevation, with distinct wet and dry seasons throughout the calendar year.

The settlement grew after 1958 when the construction of the Belém-Brasília highway led to the discovery of fertile lands near Açailândia Creek.

Local festivities include traditional music performances, regional dance presentations, and food events that display the influences of indigenous communities.

The railway station on the Carajás line connects the municipality to main transportation routes, enabling efficient movement of goods and passengers.

The region maintains the largest cattle population in Maranhão state while operating as a central hub for pig iron production.
