Macapá is best known as “The capital of the middle of the world,” because the equator passes through its centre. The capital of Amapá in Brazil’s North Region, it stretches across a small plateau beside the Amazon Delta, near the river’s Atlantic mouth. Road access from outside the state comes only through French Guiana, while regular ferries connect the city with Belém.
