Amapá

Where the Amazon meets the Atlantic

← Все штаты

Amapá sits at the mouth of the Amazon River where the rainforest meets the Atlantic Ocean. Macapá, its capital, straddles the Equator almost exactly and is home to the Fortaleza de São José, an 18th-century Portuguese fortress. Over 70% of the state is protected by conservation areas, making it one of the most intact ecosystems in Brazil.

Macapá is not connected to the national highway network — flying in is the practical choice for most visitors.
