Tartarugalzinho (Portuguese pronunciation: [taʁtɐɾuɡawˈzĩɲu]) is a municipality located in the east of the state of Amapá in Brazil.
[2][3] The first settlement in the municipality was located on the Tartarugal Grande River, however the rapids made transport difficult, and the town was moved to a tributary.
[4] The economy is based on raising livestock, primarily cattle and buffalo, subsistence farming and fishing.
