Paço do Lumiar is a coastal city in northeastern Brazil located in Maranhão state. The territory includes residential areas, local services, and access to the Atlantic coastline where mangroves and wetlands meet urban neighborhoods.

The city grew from agricultural settlements during Brazil's colonial period and later became an administrative region within Maranhão state. This development was tied to economic expansion and the broader settlement of the northeast region.

The community maintains local traditions through events like Fest Flora and religious ceremonies that shape daily life. These celebrations reflect the spiritual and social bonds that hold the community together.

The city provides basic health services through several health units spread across the area. Visitors will find typical urban infrastructure with residential neighborhoods, local shops, and access points to coastal areas.

A large environmental protection area surrounds the city and safeguards wetlands that are rich in wildlife and bird species. This protected zone offers visitors a chance to explore rare coastal ecosystems of the northeast.
