===Climate===
The Macapá region includes large tracts of [[tropical rainforest]] and experiences relatively high rainfall. Macapá features a [[tropical monsoon climate]] (''Am'') under the [[Köppen climate classification]], with a lengthy [[wet season]] from December through July, and a relatively short [[dry season]] that covers the remaining four months. However, a noticeable amount of rain is observed even during the dry season, a trait common to a number of other areas with this climate.<ref name = "INMET"/> Average temperatures are relatively consistent throughout the year, hovering around {{convert|23|C|F}} in the mornings<ref name = "INMET"/> and {{convert|31|C|F}} in the afternoon.<ref name = "INMET"/>

In 1992, the villages of Curiaú de Dentro, Curiaú de Fora, Casa Grande, Curralinho and Mocambo in the municipality of Macapá were recognised as ''[[quilombo]]s'', settlements by escaped slaves, resulting in the establishment of the [[Rio Curiaú Environmental Protection Area]].<ref>{{cite journal|journal=Biota Amazônia |issn=2179-5746|location=Macapá|volume=3|issue=3|year=2013|language=pt |last1=Lima e Silva |first1=Raullyan Borja |last2=Freitas |first2=João da Luz |last3=Moreira dos Santos |first3=João Ubiratan |last4=Picanço Souto|first4=Raimundo Nonato |title=Caracterização agroecológica e socioeconômica dos moradores da comunidade quilombola do Curiaú |url=http://www.iepa.ap.gov.br/biblioteca/artigo/2015/caracterizacao-agroecol-sociocon-quilombola-curiau.pdf|access-date=April 4, 2021|page=113|doi=10.18561/2179-5746/biotaamazonia.v3n3p113-138|doi-access=free}}</ref>
