Marajó, Fluvial island in Pará, Brazil
Located at the Amazon River delta, Marajó Island extends across 40,100 square kilometers of savannas, wetlands, and forests in northern Brazil.
Archaeological findings reveal that from 400 BC to 1600 AD, the Marajoara people established settlements on the island, creating advanced pottery and complex societies.
Local communities maintain traditional activities such as fishing and cattle ranching, while water buffalo herds exceed 450,000 animals across the eastern grasslands.
Visitors reach the island through ferry services connecting the town of Soure with Belém, with transportation primarily relying on boats due to seasonal flooding.
During the rainy season, extensive flooding transforms large sections of Marajó into interconnected lakes, leading residents to construct houses on stilts.
