Amapá, Federative unit in northern Brazil
Amapá encompasses 142,829 square kilometers between the Amazon River and Atlantic Ocean, containing extensive rainforests, rivers, and coastal landscapes.
The territory became an official state of Brazil on October 5, 1988, transitioning from its previous status as part of the State of Pará.
The state population combines indigenous communities, African descendants, and Brazilian immigrants, maintaining traditional festivals throughout municipalities.
Transportation within Amapá relies primarily on waterways and limited road networks, with Jorge Newbery Airport in Macapá connecting to major Brazilian cities.
The equatorial line crosses through the state territory, resulting in year-round warm temperatures and contributing to its distinctive ecological systems.
