Cunani is a quilombola community in Calçoene whose history is best approached through the people who keep the territory alive. UNIFAP researcher Keila Cristina Barata dos Santos studied quilombola memory and identity and produced educational material about the community, valuing its own historical experience.

Family farming is an important part of that continuity. A technical visit recorded by Amapá’s government in 2023 documented cacao and açaí cultivation beside the Cunani River and discussions with residents about strengthening production. Learning about the place can mean listening to these histories and understanding the relationship between work, river and territory.

Visits require prior agreement with community representatives. Arrange who will receive you, the route and permission for photographs. Homes, cultivated land and cultural occasions are not automatically accessible tourist attractions.
