Barcarena, Industrial port municipality in northern Pará, Brazil.

Barcarena extends across 1,310 square kilometers of land along the Tocantins River, functioning as a major transportation hub in the Amazon region.

The territory, originally inhabited by Aruá Indians, transformed into a settlement when Jesuit missionaries established their presence in the area during 1709.

Local communities maintain strong connections to river traditions, with fishing practices and water-based activities forming central elements of daily life.

The Vila do Conde port handles international cargo shipments, connecting inland Brazilian producers to global markets through advanced maritime infrastructure.

The municipality implements specific climate adaptation strategies, including the integration of environmental education in schools and urban tree planting initiatives.
