Serra do Navio, Mining municipality in Amapá, Brazil

Located in central Amapá state, Serra do Navio extends across 7,713 square kilometers of Amazon territory at an elevation of 187 meters.

The discovery of manganese deposits in 1947 transformed this area into a planned city, leading to construction of the Amapá Railway and mining facilities.

The municipality combines traditional Brazilian Amazon customs with industrial heritage from its mining past, reflected in local festivals and community practices.

The BR-210 highway connects Serra do Navio to other regions, while temperatures range from 29.5°C to 32.5°C with peak rainfall between January and May.

The Cancão Municipal Natural Park within Serra do Navio houses 49 species of anuran amphibians, including three newly discovered species for the region.
