Amapá, has such divers flora and fauna!

Parque Nacional das Montanhas de Tumucumaque
Created in 2002, it is the largest protected area of unbroken Tropical forest in the world. It is home to 37 species of lizard, 350 birds and 7 primates.
Cachoeiras de Santo Antonio
Situated within the municipality of Laranjal do Jari, in the South of the State, it is the shear force of the waters that makes these falls so enchanting. In all, there are 24 falls within a semi circle of rock faces. The best time to visit these falls is between   February and July, when the Jari river waters are in full spate. 

A Gem of a Humming bird
In the central part of the State, within a densely forested region, there lives a rare Humming bird, the beija-flor-brilho-de-fogo (Topazza pella), whose scintillating plumage is said to even out shine the sun. This tiny creature has a heart weighing only four grams, but the beat of its wings reaches an amazing 2850 per minute. However, despite its diminutive size, this delightful Humming bird is responsible for the pollination / germination of many species of forest plants.

Just look at these beautiful engravings!
The funeral urns of the anthropomorphous Cunani are beautifully decorated vases, with spirals in relief form, illustrating eyes, ears, mouths and noses. In contrast, the anthropomorphous Maraca urns show human figures seated on benches. According to the culture of various indigenous groups, the sitting position increases the capacity to concentrate and reflect. The urns of the Cunani and Maraca can be seen in the Museu Histórico do Amapá Joaquim Caetano da Silva.

Do not miss this opportunity to admire these designs!
Your eyes may pop out when confronted with the design compositions of the Wajapi, who live in the Serra de Tumucumaque. In addition to the glass bead collars, arm and leg bands, the Wajapi paint their bodies with a lacquer made of perfumed resins, creating highly sophisticated designs. These patterns represent in abstract form, the essence of different fish bones, Boa Constrictor skins, groups of lizards or fluttering butterflies and are enhanced with dashes, dots, crossing and parallel lines. For the Wajapi, in addition to being very beautiful, the designs have magical powers both within the real and invisible world.

The legend of the Pororoca (Giant Tidal Wave)
A strange, beautiful, dark haired girl with white skin and cat like eyes, half fish, half woman, leads the fishermen astray. She is Iara, the most famous aquatic mythical creature, the Mermaid of the Indians. She lives in the deeps of the rivers, rules the waters and creates tiny whirlpools. When she becomes bored, she beats the calm waters to agitate them, so that they rise up to form a huge wave, the Pororoca. In truth, the Pororocas or poroc-poroc in the Tupi Indian language, are Atlantic Ocean waters that, during the Springtides, known locally as the “live seas”, are charged with such power, that they revert the out flowing waters of the River Amazon, which then flow “backwards”, reaching speeds of 25km per hour, and heights of 4.5meters. The best times to witness this spectacle is during the period of the Equinox, the last days of March and September and the best places are on the Marajo Islands of Caviana and Mexiana.
