Trapiche Eliezer Levy, Maritime pier and tourist destination in Macapá, Brazil
Trapiche Eliezer Levy is a 360-metre reinforced-concrete pier in Macapá, originally 472 metres long, rebuilt in 1999 under Governor João Capiberibe. It has a covered area, an ice-cream parlour, a small plaza, boarding and disembarking stations, a restaurant at the far end, and an electric trolley decorated with Maracá and Cunani art.
Construction began in 1936 under Mayor Eliezer Levy, but the pier was only inaugurated in 1945 during his second term. It replaced the Pedra do Guindaste as Macapá's main docking point. The Navy had opposed the project, citing shallow water and silt, but Levy proceeded on the orders of interventor Magalhães Barata. The pier was later rebuilt in reinforced concrete and renovated from 2017.
This pier serves as a gathering place where people dine and spend time observing the daily rhythm of the Amazon River. Locals and visitors share the space to experience life along the water.
The pier is easily accessible for walking and offers direct access to regional dining and small boat transportation options. Plan to spend time strolling along the structure to fully experience the views and facilities.
The pier was originally 472 metres long; after the 1999 concrete reconstruction under governor João Capiberibe it measures 360 metres. The trolley's livery reproduces Maracá and Cunani graphic art from civilisations that lived in what is now Amapá thousands of years ago.
