Apoquitaua

The Apoquitauá flows through the forested country between the Madeira and Tapajós rivers. It joins the Paraná do Urariá, one of the waterways that wind through the floodplains south of the Amazon. The surrounding forests and streams are part of the traditional country of the Sateré-Mawé, who cultivated guaraná and traded it with Europeans from the colonial period.
