Amapá National Forest, or Flona, combines conservation with sustainable resource use by riverine communities. Created in 1989, it protects a large forest area in the central part of the state. ICMBio identifies Porto Grande as the main gateway, via the Araguari River; this does not place the entire forest within that municipality.

A visit can connect river landscapes, trails and livelihoods based on farming, fishing and forest products. The 2024 tourism survey also presents the Glorinha Waterfall Trail as an associated experience. Arrange any inclusion with the community and management, without assuming separate or permanent access.

The forest has its own entry rules. Organise transport, food and any overnight stay before travelling, and obtain ICMBio's required written permission. Careful arrangements value residents' work and reveal the forest as a lived territory.
