Sucuriju

Sucuriju is on the South American continent, however it is surrounded by the Lago Piratuba Biological Reserve which gives the village island characteristics.^[3] The village started with a couple of factories used by the fishermen of the Bailique Archipelago [pt]. In the 1920s, residential houses were constructed around the factories.^[4] Sucuriju consists of a hundred buildings on a bridge parallel to the river. It contains a school, a health post, a Catholic church and a Pentecostal church.^[3]

The economy of Sucuriju is based on fishing. Both the nearby lakes and the Atlantic coast are being fished.^[2] The village can only be accessed by boat and is located about 12 hours from Amapá.^[3] In 1956, it became a district of Amapá.^[5]
