Macapá, the Rare Jewel of the Amazon, celebrated its 266th birthday on February 4th! Being the only capital in Brazil that sits directly on the equator, it represents a unique and special place in the world. Despite being disconnected from other capital cities by road, Macapá is a hub for education in Amapá, offering both secondary and higher education. It boasts several famous tourist attractions such as "Fortaleza de São José de Macapá," "Marco Zero da Linha do Equador," and the Sacaca Museum. The Flamingo, a beautiful and graceful bird, is the symbol of Macapá.
