Itaubal, also known as Itaubal do Piririm, became a municipality in 1992. Located in eastern Amapá, facing the Amazon River, it includes an urban centre and several rural and riverside communities, among them Carmo do Macacoari and Foz do Macacoari. This settlement pattern helps explain a history built through relationships between communities, rivers and areas of agricultural production.

Farming, livestock raising and artisanal fishing are part of the local economy and food supply. Devotion to São Benedito brings residents and visitors together for traditional celebrations. Discovering Itaubal means becoming acquainted with everyday life in which waterways, agricultural knowledge and community ties are important references for municipal identity.
