The Cidade Nova waterfront reveals Macapá's relationship with the Amazon through a space used by residents for meeting, moving around and running small businesses beside the water. The 2024 tourism survey identifies it as a distinct place, separate from Santa Inês and the Araxá complex. Enjoy the landscape from pedestrian areas that are open to visitors.
The riverfront also requires care with structures along the bank. On 30 January 2026, Macapá's municipal administration under Antônio Furlan announced a work order for redevelopment through the Orla Viva programme, including paving, lighting and improvements to the viewpoint.
That announcement records planned work, rather than proving completion. Check which sections are open and respect barriers and signs. Construction areas are unsuitable as shortcuts or photo stops.
History & public works
Construction, opening and renovation are different stages. These are the interventions with documented attribution.
