Fishing near Calçoene, Amapá

Calçoene sits in the far north of Amapá, where the Rio Calçoene and a network of igarapés drain toward the Atlantic coast. The surrounding landscape is Amazonian, and fishing here centers on the river and its tributaries — the Rio Calçoene itself runs through town, while waters such as Igarapé Goiabal Grande, Igarapé Maiacaré, Rio Amapá Grande, and Rio Novo extend across the region.
