Cutias, also known as Cutias do Araguari, became a municipality in 1992, separating from Macapá. Its history is tied to the Araguari River and rural activities. Livestock raising, cassava cultivation and other crops, together with fishing, help explain the relationship between the town, surrounding communities and the resources of the territory.
The former tidal bore brought attention to the region and remains part of its tourism history; this historical reference does not mean the phenomenon can be observed today. Municipal life is also expressed along the waterfront and in local celebrations, including devotion to Nossa Senhora Rainha da Paz. Cutias offers an understanding of inland Amapá in which landscape, work and community ties come together.
The Pirarucu Festival brings together food, music and local businesses. Recognised as the municipality’s intangible cultural heritage under Law 150/2024, it places the fish at the heart of a shared celebration. Festival dishes reveal the connection between fishing, food and the identity of Cutias.
