Amapá is not only one of the newest Brazilian states, it is also one of the best preserved – less than 1% of its 143.453 square kilometers area has been deforested, and the state retains its extractive reserves, ecological stations and indigenous areas. Its location on the northernmost part of the country endows the region with a great diversity of ecosystems that appear as plains, dry lowlands, forest swamps, marshlands, cerrado areas and rainforests.

Amapá is also a land of strong cultural traditions inherited from indigenous peoples, Caboclos, Africans and the Portuguese. All this diversity goes to the table: Amapa’s cuisine has tasty dishes cooked with fish typical of the region, and desserts that taste like the Amazonian flora. Amapá also has site with exuberant nature, ideal for bird watching. Among its birds are wild ducks, herons, flamingoes and the royal hawk.
