São Francisco do Iratapuru

São Francisco do Iratapuru is a village in the Brazilian municipality of Laranjal do Jari, in the state of Amapá.

[4] In 1969, it became a site for the Jari project[2] which intended to replace the rainforest with Gmelina arborea for the pulp industry.

[8] In 2004, the cosmetics company Natura & Co became interested, and signed a deal with COMARU to become one of their main suppliers for Brazil nut oil.

[9] São Francisco do Iratapuru can only be reached via the Jari River, however the Santo Antônio waterfall cannot be crossed.

The only access route is taking the road from Monte Dourado to Porto Sabão and then continue the journey by boat.
