Mambucaba

The Historic village of Mambucaba is located in the 4th district of the municipality of Angra dos Reis, on the west coast of the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

House were built in the village during the Golden Age of coffee plantation, a church dedicated to Our Lady of the Rosary, reasonable commerce activity, with records of an establishment for a Vice consul of France.

The construction of the Rio-Santos highway in the early 1970s threatened the village, generating several protests of cultural movements of the society in Angra dos Reis.

This last interpretation seeks origin in the fact that, by bordering the river, we have a path that was already used by the Indians of the region as means of connection with the Planalto Paulista.

In the neighborhood, Parque Mambucaba, known until a few years ago as Perequê (which means "Path of ascent of the fish", due to the mangrove areas on its shores where the fish reproduce), reside around 21000 people, population that multiply on weekends and holidays during the summer months, when the influx of people come mainly from the region of Vale do Paraíba, and those who have summer residences there.

There are other health posts and a detachment of the Municipal Civil Defense of Angra dos Reis held in Mambucaba Park.
