Serra do Navio’s urban history was shaped by Icomi’s manganese mining. Designed by architect Oswaldo Arthur Bratke to house workers and their families, the town combined homes with health, education and recreation facilities in a layout planned for the Amazonian environment. The railway and its connection with Santana were part of this industrial system.

The municipality was created in 1992, and the end of Icomi’s mining operations in the late 1990s brought profound changes to local life. The planned town is protected as Brazilian cultural heritage. Its architecture, gardens and ventilation features help explain this past, while the forest landscape and rivers reveal the setting in which residents continue to shape municipal history.

The Cupuaçu Festival reveals another side of the town: rural production and the flavours of a fruit made into pulp, juices, pies and jams. The celebration brings producers and visitors together, showing how food also helps shape local identity.
