Redenção

Redenção is a municipality in southern Pará covering roughly 3,800 square kilometers at an elevation of 271 meters. Three rivers—Salobro, Pau d'Arco, and Arraias—shape the landscape and drainage patterns.

Founded in 1972 during Brazil's military government, the city emerged as part of efforts to develop and settle the Amazon frontier region. This period saw large migrations from other Brazilian states seeking opportunities in the newly opening lands.

The name refers to redemption, reflecting the aspirations of settlers who came here seeking a fresh start in a developing frontier region.

The town is accessible by its local airport and road connections linking it to surrounding regions. It operates on UTC-3 time zone, and visitors should be prepared for the tropical semi-humid climate typical of the area.

Kayapó indigenous communities maintain their presence in the region alongside newer settlers, creating a distinctive blend of traditional and modern ways of living. This coexistence offers insights into how different populations share and navigate the same territory.
